What Are The Side Effects Of Risperidone, Benztropine And Hydroxyzine?
My 10 year old daughter has been diagnosed with paranoid sz. She is taking 3mg Risperidone, 0.5mg Benztropine, twice daily, and 10 mg Hydroxyzine twice daily. She has been on these for 18 months with few side effects. Her dread of going out in public and being taken by a stranger and being murdered is getting more extreme every day. The dr. is now putting her on 5mg of Lexaprol for anxiety. What should I be looking for in both good and bad reactions?
