I WOKE UP IN A HOSPITAL AND WAS SENT TO THE PHYSICATRIC HOSPITAL IN MY STATE. WHEN I WAS SENT HOME I WAS PUT ON RISPERDAL. I HAVE NO MEMORY, OTHER THAN A FEW FLASHES AND DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG I WAS PRESCRIBED THE MEDICATION. I LOST A PART OF MY LIFE TO THIS. I WAS GIVEN HALF A ZYPREXA AND WENT INTO GRAND MAL SEIZURES.

He was healthy as a horse, just confused with all the unnecessary medication. My father was given Abilify while in the nursing being treated as a dementia patient and two days after he was given this drug, he had a massive stroke and died. I for one believe that this drug IS definately responsible for many untimely deaths of elderly dementia patients.

There have been all sorts of studies that have found that antipsychotic drugs have deleterious effects. In particular Risperdal has been shown to increase the risk of stroke and premature death in the elderly. A friend's mother with dementia was put on Risperdal after entering a nursing home. She died from a stroke three months later. MDs in the US continue to prescribe antipsychotic drugs as well as other drugs in spite of black box warnings.

Unlike your liver, the pancreas does not regenerate itself. If it gets damaged, diabetes is very likely. Zyprexa is glorified Thorazine at ten times the price class action Eli Lilly Zyprexa lawsuit haven't had their cases resolved yet. Lilly made us all sign gag orders so we can't speak out now. Everybody seems to be getting paid-out except the real victims. Lilly pays $10 million to 8 of their own EMPLOYEE so called 'whistle-blowers'.
