My son is 7yrs old and has been on Risperdol for almost a year. He has not shown any bad side effects. He is also taking Adderal. The combination of these drugs have made a dramatic influence in his bi-polar condition. I tried multiple resources and medications prior to his being put on Risperdol and Adderal with no results. Are there any medications like Risperdol that are 100% safe? I do not want to put my son at risk but without medication he is at risk also. I

My son has been having bad dreams and talking to himself even when he’s asleep. His doctor gave him risperodal. It has worked O.K for him so far. He is 32 years old and has HIV.

Please, I beg every parent that has worte into this site to get a second opinion about Risperdal! My daughter, Kayla, died possibly due to taking Risperdal and Zoloft for bi polar and she was twelve, not three and four. All of you need to pay close attention to Canada, Japan, and other foreign countries who have outlawed it. It just makes me sick to see that every week someone else who has a dear child who is experiencing health problems due to Risperdal. I beg every one of you to really look into this horrible drug!!!!

i am a 26 yr old female. i took 2mgs of risperadal for 8 months. i had paranoid delusions on this drug like I had never had before. i thought people were stealing my money. i blamed friends. i couldn’t remember spending it. my doc increased me to 3mgs. then i got little bumps all over my skin. i first thought my bed was infested with spiders. i cleaned all bedding. i had begun to have extreme muscle fatigue. i didn’t get out of bed for 3 weeks and didn’t even notice the days were passing. my doctor said it was an allergic reaction so he took me off (i had already weened myself off.) and put me on abilify. i still itch so much i am driven mad. my eyelids are puffy. my head hurts. i can hardly swallow. i’ve lost 10lbs in 2 weeks. i got to a regular doctor. he treated me like an alien. said i had nothing wrong with me. accused me a dr. shopping because i take a drug cocktail (many drugs combined) for bipolar. i hate going to regular docs. i am worried it is my thyroid. i have had one seizure coming off this drug. not sure its related because i have had seizures all my life but haven’t had one for months if not a year. I really wouldn’t put children on this drug.

Well, I still continue to read comments from different people about Risperdal. I beg every parent and individual that is on Risperdal to research it!!! The Dr’s that prescribe it are getting monitery kickbacks etc… My daughter died seven months ago and Iris’s son is really malformed due to Risperdal!!! What is it going to take to ge this drug off the market!!!!

Please contact the Food and Drug Administration regarding adverse drug reactions (ADR). Risperdal should be taken off the market. The only way that will happen is if individuals contact the FDA and fill suit against the manufacturer.

Risperdal is evil. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I was misdiagnosed and given Risperdal which intensifies the symptoms of PTSD. I found an article by Dr. Henry David Abraham, now practicing in Mass., which found that Risperdal causes what he termed as LSD-Like Panic Disorder. What a nightmare…literally. One nightmare after another. I could not sleep for the nightmares. My vision was damaged, too. The warning label said “may cause changes in vision” a major understatement. I had no idea of the side effects. I wish I could force the doctor who prescribed this poison to take it herself.
