But that's not the drug. . that's a stupid use of it. There's a lot of that going around. :)

> `Yeah well, the reason these drugs worry me is that my brother was put on Risperdal for a putative schizophreniform disorder without a proper examination (he was smoking about 7 joints a day at the time and they failed to notice that). Normally he is quite vivacious, attention-seaking, and sometimes downright hysterical but on Risperdal he was like an empty shell. No personnality, complacent, quiet, boring, no initiative whatsoever. He stopped taking it because of the so-called "sexual side-effects" and returned to normal. I feel they gave it to him to make him more manageable and were unnable to give hime a proper diagnosis because he was so doped up on both marijuana and Risperdal. He talked to me about it afterwards and his account of the treatment was: "I'm angry because these are two months of my life I'll never get back"
