A member asked:
What are the chances that i will develop tardive dyskinesia or some other irreversible syndrome if i keep taking 1 mg of risperidone daily for the rest of my life? (i've been taking it for 1 year and it saves my life with 0 side effects so far).

TD risk: Important to be monitored regularly for any signs of tardive dyskinesia by prescriber. A psychiatrist is trained to do this. Discuss with your treating doc.
