Would risperidone 0.5mg help with anxiety and body tremors?

Ask a psychiatrist: Risperidone atypical antipsychotic. Risperidone is used to treat the symptoms of psychotic disorders and is prescribed off label for anxiety and depression. Ask a psychiatrist the risks and the benefits.

Pretty much depends: I'm not a huge fan of risperdal when it comes to controlling "body tremors"....anxiety is perhaps a different story but I also think there might be better ways to handle that sort of problem as well. Describe these body tremors. Limb jerks? Shivering/quivering, anxiousness in public??
