[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 225876, member: 2423"] Risperdal is an atypical antipsychotic used to treat hallucinations and distorted thinking. Off-label, it is rxed for anxiety, anger and aggression. Common side effects include sedation and weight gain. Less common side effects include high glucose, high cholesterol, movement disorders (dystonia) and akathisia, an internal and external restlessness that is sometimes mistaken for anxiety. Unfortunately, my son had a dystonic reaction and akathisia in his first month of taking Risperdal so we needed to discontinue it. We have since switched to Risperdal's cousin Seroquel, which has helped my son immensely. [/QUOTE]
