Me - yes
The PR - yes

She's starting a new medication for a possible side effect of the risperidol.  She has something like an anxiety attack and says she can't breathe.  Obviously, she is breathing.  I've forgotten the name of the med, but it starts out ben.... and is used for dystonia.

The PR says "Hi" to everyone.
Hi to the PR. She is in my thoughts.

Is it benztropine? I take it for side effects of haloperidol - the stiffening up, the parkinsonism. It works really well. At first I had side effects, blurry vision and constipation which were absolutely horrible but over after 2 to 3 weeks. Now I'm fine.

That's it.  The side effects I'm concerned about/looking for are the loss of cognitive function and the affect on time perception.

Can think of why OCD, ADHD and ASD could be a combination with benefits (and/or serious fuck-ups). But have a hard time seeing a possible positive effect of epilepsy.

The PR says "Hello" back at you in a high pitched voice.  Then, "What are we going to have for breakfast?"  That girl has her priorities straight.
