diabetes Risperdal

UPDATE:

According to an online report from the Wall Street Journal on June 20, 2012, "Johnson & Johnson and the Justice Department are close to settling a protracted investigation into the company’s promotion of the antipsychotic Risperdal, for what would be one of the highest sums to date in a drug-marketing case. The sides are trying to wrap together a number of lawsuits, state investigations and other probes of alleged illegal marketing, and are discussing a payment of $1.5 billion or higher."

Ive personally seen what this drug can do to a human and it aint pretty...unfortunately, in my husbands case there really was no alternative..no other meds really worked.....either he was gonna be severly psychotic or we had to deal with movement disorders, parkinsons like symptoms, lactation, drooling, weight gain, diabetes and zoombie like.

I suggest anyone on this med for anything other than bi-polar or schizo ask their doctor for a alternative, especially at the higher doses. Some of these side effects are permanent even after withdrawing the med. Tardive Dyskinesia (involuntary movement disorder) is a classic one.
