Quote of the day

I stumbled upon this little gem while reading over some info about the drug which was prescribed to me by a GP, but which my aunt (a pharmacist) says should only be prescribed by a psychiatrist.

Here's the quote:

"Exactly how RISPERDAL works is unknown. However, it seems to readjust the balance of dopamine and serotonin."

Fuckin' brilliant. You say you're having trouble functioning at school and home? How about this - we don't know how it works, but here ya go! Let's start you off on 1.5 mg per day of a drug which is a powerful anti-psychotic and will cause you to feel nauseated, dizzy and unable to form coherent sentences and then tell you that this is what you need in order to live a normal life!

My aunt has advised me to stop taking the medication. I have.

health, medication
