Tardive dyskinesia is a drug emergent side effect associated with long-term exposure to neuroleptics. Risperidone has lesser propensity to cause tardive movements. A 67-year-old male presented with tardive symptoms. He had oromasticatory and limb movements. He was started on 2 mg of risperidone for agitation and behavioral disturbance 4 years ago. He also developed cognitive decline over the years. Clinician must be aware of the possibility of tardive movements with risperidone and the need for frequent evaluation of cognitive function in any elderly male.
