Rispidol is a scary drug that no one should take. They tried to push it on me for Depression. The doctors won't tell you the more severe side effects unless you lean on them, then they'll say it's rare. It made me feel like a zombie. More severe effects include: NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME which causes paralysis, seizure, and death: THERE IS NO KNOWN TREATMENT OR CURE. Also TARTIVE DYSCONESIA which causes uncontrolable twitching, especially of the face. Again , no known treatment or cure for T.D, it either goes away on it's own, or is PERMANENT !! My source is the PHYSICIANS DESK REFERENCE {2003].

Thanks. I have seen this spelling done incorrectly by a prescribing physicia, which led me to believe that there were two different medications.

You will find many incorrect spellings and people will even pronounce them wrong, after awhile, you get used to interpreting them! LOL!

I had Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, which is a nightmare to deal with. I won't go into details unless someone requests an account. It went on 4 months before being ID'd; my temp was 109 F, & I came out with some brain damage.
