In reply to *** RISPERIDONE NEW DRUG UPDATES *** PALIPERIDONE, posted by Jeroen on May 6, 2006, at 6:48:19
I don't think we should dismiss drugs as "good" or "bad." These drugs help some people and don't help others. Cause unbearable side effects in some but not in others.
Labeling a drug on this board as a "bad drug" could potentially scare a lot of people away from it, people who it might help immensely. In fact, the atypical antipsychotics changed the psychopharmacology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder immensely and have given some previously-labeled "chronic" patients their lives back.
