  • I looked up the NIMH clinical study. I've found two studies and also looked at the scales used like the "real life" scale. It appears Risperidone does reduce stereotypical behaviors/reaction to stimuli etc, it does not improve language, communication and caused a significant increase in weight. (6lbs over 8 weeks, which is significant)

  • Thats a good summary. Weight gain can be a major problem. In our son it improved sleep and overall mood as well.

  • Yes, are you treating yourself or your child? Better examples with ADD, I believe. Also, more worrisome is the elderly population, are they better on meds, or just easier to care for?

  • Interesting. This sounds like a broken process. How can we, as concerned citizens, fix this?

  • Great question. Thankfully, respected leaders in medicine and science are speaking out. We personally can vote, contact our legislators, and make it an issue. The Vioxx meltdown brought the issue under public scrutiny.

  • FDA is olso taking over the Swedish medical system. I know that Swedish doctors only recomend medical approved by FDA. We have to take action now!!

  • What I am surprised about is that people are surprised by this.

  • The FDA is a Hazzard to Americas Health

  • ??? president Bush keeps us safe all right, we will be soo poor that nobody would want anything from us, so we'll be safe...I don't get the post...

  • Amen!!! Drugs have their use in certain circumstances. But educating and giving an opportunity to people to take a good care of themselves would be the solution to bankrupt the FDA charade...

  • It would be better if they sold sugar pills for $100 each, but hey wont, because they want you to get more sick, and buy more drugs.

    COOL IT WITH THE SPAMS.......LOSER.

  • Uh you think FDA wants people to get healthy? If people became healthy, they wouldn't need to take medicine, which in turns affects the profits of pharmaceutical companies. The big pharma companies only care about profits...if cancer found a cure, cancer industry would be out of business.

  • Visit (ww.donald.freelife.kom) and order the juice for a long lasting health.This information is TRUE.
