A member asked:
Can taking a low dose of risperdal for a short period of time cause problems later on such as parkinsons or dystonia? also i took gabapetin for a little while for headaches and got up to 900mg but then tapered off. can this cause problems later on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The short term use of either of those meds will not cause any long term problems.
