Resperidol (Page 2) (Top voted first)

My daughter was prescribed Risperidol for mood disorder. She is 30 years old and already taking Lexapro. I have heard that this drug has some adverse side effects, and I would like to know what they are.

Sorry for all the separate posts, but heres one more important thing, all of this is right from the makers off resperidol, mind you, check this out :
How does RISPERDAL® work?
The symptoms of ******** are thought to be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. Although it is unclear exactly how RISPERDAL® works, it seems to help balance the chemicals in the brain. While it is not a cure, RISPERDAL® can help many people manage the symptoms of *********.
They dont know anything about the poison they sell, they just know that it gets rid of one problem and makes many people TONS of cash. Spread the word, this stuff ruins peoples lives and takes over their lives, dont let that happen to your daughter, because these complanies have clauses which take damage liability off of their shoulders if something bad happens because of the chemicals they are feeding her, even though it distorts your thoughts, thats all ...

This drug is dangerous especially if given to a misdiagnosed patient by an eager doctor looking to fill a pharmaseutical quota and a quick fix inconsiderate of individuals responses to known side effects. RISPERDAL® (risperidone) is used for the treatment of irritability associated with autistic disorder in children ages 5-17; the treatment of schizophrenia in adults; and the treatment of bipolar mania associated with Bipolar I Disorder in adults. IS THIS YOUR DAUGHTER? There are many side effects but this one scares me the most: TARDIVE DYSKINESIA (Tics). The side effect of tics, associated with psychiatric medications. Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a serious, sometimes permanent side effect reported with RISPERDAL. ***TD includes uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue, and other parts of the body. The risk of developing TD and the chance that it will become permanent is thought to increase with the length of therapy and the overall dose taken by the patient. This condition can develop after a brief period of therapy at low doses, although this is much less common. There is no known treatment for TD, but it may go away partially or completely if therapy is stopped. tell her to research this drug, it is dangerous, and psychiatists dont even know what component of the drug actually causes the symptoms they are treating to subside. Every patient is a guinia pig....think about it
