Risperdal Information:

Risperdal (generic name: Risperidone) is a FDA approved drug which is prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia. It is also sometimes directed for use in patients with depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression), and in children with autism suffering from irritability. It is an antipsychotic, and belongs to the group of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. In patients with schizophrenia, the symptoms cause the chemicals within the brain to become imbalanced, which results in delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, agitation, no emotional responses, lack of feeling and low motivation. Although the exact working of Risperdal is unknown, it is thought to correct the imbalance of the chemicals in the brain which reduces the previously mentioned symptoms. The main chemicals that appear to be affected in schizophrenics and patients with bipolar disorder is dopamine and serotonin. Risperdal is safe for use in patients aged 13 and older for schizophrenia, age 10 and over for bipolar disorder and autistic children aged 5-16 with irritability.
