The lawsuits surrounding Risperdal allege inappropriate marketing as well as failure to warn issues. While Johnson & Johnson alleges Risperdal helps countless people throughout the world who suffer from debilitating mental illnesses, it also has caused embarrassing side effects further contributing to the problems it claims to address. In September of 2012, Johnson & Johnson settled one such lawsuit with a 21 year old who had taken Risperdal and grown breasts which had to be surgically removed. The settlement was allegedly agreed to by Johnson & Johnson in order to avoid having the Judge in the trial order Chief Executive Officer Alex Gorsky to testify. According to court filings, Gorsky was using the increases in Risperdal sales on his resume. The plaintiff sought to secure testimony regarding Gorskys role in getting psychiatrists to promote Risperdal for uses not approved by the FDA.
When it's muscle, they can sag a little when totally relaxed. Else, if one stops the workouts for an extended time and puts on a little weight, they can definitely get embarrassing. I had some medical issues which caused me to stop for a couple years and I put on 25 lbs. Almost back to 'normal' again, but the last extra flesh on my pecs is the last to go. Tough to maintain as I get older and will have to modify my workouts to stay leaner in the future - 62 and striving to stay fit.
Damn, took this for my ADHD and now I’ve got ADHdoubleD.
The mentioned lawsuit is but a small part of the picture. Texas settled for over $150 million, the Fed settled for over $2 billion on this same drug...... There are many more lawsuits and none of the settlements admitted guilt. Thus they just pay off the party and continue to promote the drug.
These drugs are dangerous as all of the atypical antipsychotics are. The side effects are horrendous and it is black boxed in the PDR for senior citizens. However, it does not create the tardive dyskinesia side effect found in the non atypical drugs, thus younger patients tend to prefer it.
These drugs block a persons ability to resolve issues and/or develop in the emotional aspect of consciousness. My observations of people using atypicals is that the right prefontal cortex or emotional executive function is overactive. This causes a short term memory focus and decreases the ability for long term focus or planning.
I use the analogy of a person sitting in the back seat of a traveling car getting sick due to focusing on all the scenery that is flying by as they look out the side window. If they are in the front seat the focus is down the road and the scenery does not effect them. This same consciousness pattern is observed in schizophrenics as it is as though they are stuck in the back seat and have no ability to focus down the road. (Note: the same thing is true for sea sickness as if you look at the horizon rather than close to the boat the sickness often diminishes) It appears to be a malfunction of the neural signals in the area postrema that causes this as I observed frequent headaches just under the cerebellum in the top of the neck, center in back utilized as a defense mechanism.
I am right now working with a man in his thirties who has schizophrenia. It’s my first time for a full case study. I’ve found attributes that I have never seen in people and am now formulating a plan to resolve it. The dopaminergic pathways are only a part of it.
I work with consciousness flow patterns. I’ve found a strong horizontal pattern with minimal vertical. A sense of self was never developed due to negative stimulus during key development stages. It takes two traumas to create this pattern. One at age 2 to 3 yrs old creating internalized fear and one around 7 to 8 creating learned helplessness at the stage when a child normally begins to develop the logical aspect of consciousness that leads to a healthy ego identity.
All children have psychic abilities that diminish as the logical aspect of consciousness develops and creates a reception block to the voices. In schizophrenia the inability to develop this individual ego identity facilitates the development of a dependency identity surrounding the identity of the voices.
A few years ago I was working with a woman and I removed the source of the voices and she went into a deep dark depression as her entire identity was based upon the external voices. She had no identity of her own and ended up reversing the work. This time I am building a healthy sense of self in this man to facilitate rebellion against the voices just as a teenager rebels against their parents to formulate their own identity. It appears to be working but it has been three weeks and I see a few more to complete resolution.
I tell him that it is ok to hear voices.
It is ok to talk with those voices.
It is ok to argue with those voices.
IT IS NOT OK TO LOSE ARGUMENTS WITH THOSE VOICES!
Validation of the individual apart from the dependency identity is the key component to helping a person in these situations.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
“it happens when they stop lifting.”
And go off the roids?
“thus he becomes a little girl”
This is due to blocking or delaying puberty as the shift from the androgynous child to gender specific consciousness and attributes is blocked. In essence they remain the emotional child as an adult.
The circumventricular organs outside the blood brain barrier are effected by these drugs. That includes the posterior pituitary and pineal glands which in turn impact the hormone levels impacting masculinity.
I have Osteoprosis among many other health issues.
This is the FDA Warnings I NEVER received when the doctor was trying to prescribe them. I had already reacted to a sample of Fosamax. So I said HELL NO! I had time to look them up before my next visit.

Like most useful medications, Forteo may have its possible downside. In animals, it promotes the development of “osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.” ‘In humans, osteosarcoma has not been reported but it remains a concern with Forteo.’ (The daily injections are also a downside, they REVERSE themselves after the 18-24 month treatment and you go back on Fosamax)
RECLAST is the most DANGEROUS AS IT CAN REMAIN IN YOUR SYSTEM FOR LIFE.

How can you know the full facts Twink, when the doctor FAILS to inform you? See my post on OP DRUGS. ALL OF THEM HAVE FDA WARNINGS yet still on the market. A-Fib, Kidney death failure, Jaw degeneration, and A typical Femur fractures plus a whole lot more side effects than listed in the warnings.
NOT ONCE was I TOLD they had FDA WARNINGS. You can not make accurate decisions based on LIES or LACK of ACCURATE INFO. I tracked the info down on Google. Now I Google any drug before I fill it. I’ve a full sheet of drugs I’ve reacted to I was told were SAFE. BS! My last SUPER SENIOR Flu shot had me sick 2 weeks and a trip to the ER for dehydration. I refuse to take any more.
I had to check after reading tired&retired’s post because I read that PTSD is very similar neurologically. Sure enough there are clinical trials for this drug to use for PTSD.
Just what our military and others need.
I’m going to try and open a business and it will have a book store for PTSD sufferers (and against hopelessness). Because so many meds can make these symptoms worse for the young (18 and 19 year olds have been through combat) how can I produce a brochure or form that has the most commonly used meds showing their side effects and withdrawal hazards? Also, knowing that suggestion can cause the reaction like a placebo, how do I find out the rates for placebo without having access to the actual studies?
well, not true. What cave have you been living in?
you have a lot to say so why NOT include your 1st hand experience in dealing with social workers and the system ?
and also give out the statutes that will cover all involved in these kangaroo court civil actions called hearings, and how long your kids were in foster care due to unsubstantiated charges of negligence and abuse.
YOU do know how it works,right ? guilty till proven innocent.
and again,what happened to Justina Pelletier ?
we’re all STUPID ?
and exactly WHAT were your battles w/the public school system ?
as for retaining an attorney who has the knowledge and will power to go against CPS-where are they ?
what is dispensed via the court is worse than no legal representation.
how much does a knowledgeable atty CHARGE per hour ?
how much do they charge even to simply write a letter,make a phone call ?
you have a lot to say so why not share your knowledge ?
ALL true enough.
My last SUPER SENIOR Flu shot had me sick 2 weeks and a trip to the ER for dehydration. I refuse to take any more.
**********************
Sorry to hear you had such a reaction. ...I got my Super Sr. flu shot on 10/7 and have had no adverse reactions. The last one was in 2012, so figured it was time for a re-do.
Also, I take no Rx meds and have never been in a hospital for treatment except when I was born.
Interesting.... I am reading “A Beautiful Mind” right now...and I have a sister who has had schizo episodes
I presented to a group of intelligence advisers during a meeting at the Naval Intelligence Building in Arlington VA back in early 2002 and predicted exactly what was going to happen to soldiers relating to PTSD in the upcoming war and why it would be much worse than previous wars.
There’s a big difference between feeling you were “Just following orders” and “Taking personal responsibility for everything you do” in a combat situation.
It’s obvious when you step back and look at the bigger picture.
I’ve had pretty good success at totally removing PTSD from combat, rape and other traumas in one session of a few minutes. A similar technique works well with parents who have lost children and can’t get over the pain of the loss.
Emotional trauma is not that hard to heal once you locate the perceptual programming memory which often occurred prior to the actual trauma and was just applied to the larger more traumatic event.
Please note, there is a huge difference between healing a trauma and blocking the ability to retrieve it. Drugs merely block.
If they continue lifting after they go off the roids, they can prevent the side effects from occuring. It depends what their natural hormone composition is.
Too much soy and flaxseed will cause the same thing and is causing it in male children.
