I'm concerned about Respsidol being provided to my brother. He has always been depressed and does very well on Zoloft. However, he is now on Respidol and claims to hear voices. Has never heard voices in the past. Is this something that could happen if a person does not need the med?

Respedol? BEWARE of this drug. My 19 year old was prescribed Respidol. After taking 1/2 of a 2mg tablet she ended up in the emergency room. She woke up pale and complained of feeling funny. Her blood pressure was very low and she passed out. The ambulance took her to the hospital because of a low heartbeat and during further testing her heart stopped for 5 seconds. This drug has many severe side effects. Be very careful. Cardiac arrest is one. Read about any drug before taking them.

I haven't witnessed any withdrawls. However an overdose could be brain damaging. An overdose will cause the person to become highly lethargic, pale skin, fatigue. It can slow the respitory system and potentially stop the heart beat. Of course this depends on how much is taken. This is an RX that needs to be taken in low doeses at first and gradually increased. Results aren't usually seen until the desired dose amount is reached, however some people may not require a full dose amount to see results. This med is used for Bipolar disorder and some autism.
