Head Injury
"It was prescribed for my son who was hurt from being struck by lightning. He is severely mentally handicapped &amp; confined to a wheelchair. I asked for something that would help him control his temper and yelling &amp; screaming, as it was becoming a problem. He responded well for about 3 weeks then progressively became almost catatonic. I weaned him off of this &amp; he now has Tardive Dyskinesia, after stopping risperidone. all he can do now is drool. He isnt even able to eat solid food anymore. Doctors cannot tell me if this is permanent or temporary. My son had only taken risperidone for 4 months tops"
