anxiety for the last four years.
She is a senior who raised a family and led a very active life until this struck.
Between that & depression she had to move into a senior living facility.

She was given all manner of meds to no avail until the last month or so, when Risperdal was given.
She is now in charge of her life again, when hope had nearly faded that she would ever be able to cope.

My understanding is that Risperdal is given to autistic and/or ADHD youth.
I know all meds are not for all people, but just wanted to share in hope of sparing someone the agony my friend (and her family) have gone through.

Best wishes to you.
