Resperidol (Page 2)

My daughter was prescribed Risperidol for mood disorder. She is 30 years old and already taking Lexapro. I have heard that this drug has some adverse side effects, and I would like to know what they are.

Whatever you “suspect†is irrelevent. An ICD9 or ICD 10 code is required by law with a specific diagnosis to support the use of any compound.

Mood disorders in one person are not the same as “mother†and what appears to be psychotic/schizophrenic affective disorder.

The risks associated with a compound vs the risks of being untreated can easily be weighed in such a case. Your arm-chair assumptions, simply because your own child has a major disorder, and therefore is applicable to someone else, is lacking any basis in logic.

Did you know that certain birth control formulations are used for polycystic ovarian disease? If you were taking that Rx for that reason, would you also recommend it as a birth control compound? Or one for amenorrhea?

If so, please at least complete a 2 year Nursing Degree before you encourage someone to request an Rx that causes permanent harm or temporary harm — including LOST TIME to address a rapidly expanding condition that could need not have taken place as a result of an unqualified individual making unconnected anecdotal recommendations.
