I'm confused, the only information I can find on risperdal causing death is in people around the age of 60 with dementia or schizophrenia. Most of the information I found said it was really rare in people under the age of 60.

 

I'm really confused on what the serious long term side effects are, as I can't find anyreliable information on it.

 

So, since I'm only 17 and don't have schizophrenia, I don't see what the risk is.

Most psychological medications can have permanent effects on a person during their developmental phases. I heard this one story of a person who got a permanent neck twitch from getting the wrong medication.

 

for reisperidone, I'm seeing tardive dyskinesia as a possible permanent effect (heh, permanent neck twitch. There you go.).

Hidari: Risperidal probably has other uses outside of an Anti-psychotic. Abiilfy is also used as a mood stabilizer as well as anti-depressant, for example. Since everyone is different, medications can be switched and replace others for various uses. War is right though. People can get a wide variety of problems from different meds. Tardive Dyskinesia is a pretty common one people can get.

 

War: Thanks for the information! I forgot the name of the disorder a person can get but you mentioned it exactly.
