Comment:
My daughter was admitted to the hospital for a very large ovarian tumor, she has Rett Syndrome, the doctor on call gave her a large dose of Risperadol, it paralyzed her for 24 hours and as a result her lungs collapsed, almost killing her. She was in intensive care for 12 days before we decided enough was enough and took her home. She is now doing well.

The only problem w/this medication is it made me too tired to function, even cut into quarters, and the effect didn't wear off. However, I've been on just about everything else w/no luck. This saved me. I think anyone out there that needs help sould try it! Good luck!!!!!!!!

Comment:
Experienced weight gain, lactation, and soon developed a pituitary tumor from elevated prolactin levels. Drastic mood swings if the pill was missed once. Stay away if you are a female. Dr. said in studies in rats caused infertility.
