Tardive Dyskinesia is a rare but debilitating side effect of atypical antipsychotics like Risperdal. It is characterized by uncontrollable and pointless movements such as lip smacking, grimacing, and leg and arm muscle spasms. Symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia usually take years if not decades to appear, and unfortunately by this time it is too late to treat.

A jury awarded a victim of Risperdal-induced Tardive Dyskinesia a settlement of $6.7 million in 2000. Many patients who developed Tardive Dyskinesia did so because they were prescribed the drug for off label purposes rather than treatment for delusional psychoses such as schizophrenia.

If you or someone you love developed Tardive Dyskinesia because of Risperdal you need to consult a lawyer immediately. You could be able to take legal action against those responsible and may be eligible for financial compensation for your pain and suffering. Contact an experienced Risperdal attorney today.
