“Caution: Graphic Content:” For children “diagnosed” with ADD and bi-polar disorder, Risperdal is used for “treatment”. The side effects are putting them at serious risk.
It would never cross my mind to give a kid or anyone a substance to “solve” a behavioral problem.
Why?
Look around you – look at the ever-growing population of insane people and compare that to the ever-growing, billion-dollar drug sales business in the United States.
People need to come to their senses and stop buying into this practice, this money-making racket, and justice needs to be brought once and for all to everyone involved in these CRIMINAL activities.
The outrageous story of atypical antipsychotics shows the greed and misdirected priorities of the psycho-pharmaceutical industry. Thank you for all the work you’ve done here; I have just discovered your site.
I myself have suffered terrible side effects from these drugs. Zyprexa, Seroquel and others were given to me at various times for anxiety and depression. Since I stopped them I feel better, not worse. I don’t think they ever did anything good for me, but they sure damaged my health. Aside from the usual metabolic side effects I have also experienced the somewhat less common hormonal ones. The changes wrought on my body have worsened my self-esteem, and in that since have directly worked against the goal of improving my mental health.
It is infuriating to read how the drug companies pushed these chemicals onto the community despite knowing full well that they are highly toxic. Thank you again for working on this problem.

I cried the first time I had to give my son Risperdal. I am now homeschooling and have him OFF the medication. He is doing well….now.
It is the pubic school system that pushes this !! When will it ever stop?
