Comment:
I was given the Rx to take at bedtime.. this is given to schizophrenics and it causes one to hear voices? Sounds like job security for masochistic shrinks. Feel MUCH better w/out it. I urge everyone to GET A SECOND OPINION!!!I now take a single dose of one med each day. Keep trying, there IS something better out there.

Comment:
My son is 8 years old, has Autism and had been on the medication for close to 2 years. He had excessive weight gain and developed breasts. The doctors told us we just needed to monitor his diet better and make sure he excersized more. Needless to say we were not happy with the side effects.
