Tjek wiki-pedia's beskrivelse af medikamentet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RisperdalDer står blandt andet:
Citat:
Risperidone is a very strong dopamine blocker (antagonist); i.e., it inhibits functioning of postsynaptic dopamine receptors.
Risperidone also acts as a 5-HT2A antagonist, and can be used to quickly and effectively block the effects of 5-HT2A agonist drugs such as LSD.
Risperdal modvirker altså psykedeliske stoffer som fx. LSDs virkning.
Tjek også lige listen med bivirkninger ud:
Citat:
Common side effects include nausea, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, low blood pressure, muscle stiffness, muscle pain, sedation, tremors, increased salivation and weight gain (it is not uncommon for patients taking risperidone over long periods to gain upwards of 50 pounds or even more). It has also been known to cause sexual dysfunction.
Occasionally breast tenderness and eventually lactation in both genders may occur. Many antipsychotics are known to increase prolactin because they inhibit dopamine. However, Risperidone is known to increase prolactin to a greater extent than most other antipsychotics, such as quetiapine. It is thought that once Risperidone raises prolactin, it may cause tumors in the pituitary gland. This may recur even if the patient has switched to a different antipsychotic.[2]
Like all antipsychotics, Risperidone can potentially cause tardive dyskinesia (TD), extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), although the risk is generally less than for the older typical antipsychotics.
For some personal reports of the effects of using risperidone for autism or Asperger's syndrome - occasionally beneficial especially at very low doses such as 0.5mg per day, but sometimes severely distressing even at low doses.
Jeg tror nærmest ikke man kan finde noget ulovligt rusmiddel med SÅ mange bivirkninger. Jeg må her sige at jeg lidt er enig med Astral, det lyder godt nok som et helt igennem nedaren stof, som man kun skal tage hvis det er absolut nødvendigt. For mig lyder det lidt overkill at tage det fordi man bliver irriteret over andre folks smasken. Her kunne jeg forestille mig at kognitiv terapi ville være langt bedre. Overvej lige det, sekstoi.
Til sidst vil jeg blot nævne, at det altså ER muligt at forholde sig kritisk til lægers medicinudskrivninger, uden at mene at de udelukkende vil folk det ondt eller andre paranoide forestillinger. Selvføgelig vil læger deres patienter det bedste, men vi ser altså en tendens til at en del læger/psykiatere udskriver medicin lige lovligt hurtigt. At udskrive et stof som Risperdal på baggrund af en 7 minutters samtale synes jeg er under al kritik.
