This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Risperidone, sold under the brand name Risperdal among others, is an atypical antipsychotic[2] used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,[2] as well as irritability associated with autism.[9] It is taken either by mouth or by injection (i.e., subcutaneous or intramuscular).[2] The injectable versions are long-acting and last for 2–4 weeks.[10]

Also, the side effects include something called Tardive dyskinesia (TD)

Whatever you may want, you do not want tardive dyskinesia.

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder results in involuntary repetitive body movements, which may include grimacing, sticking out the tongue or smacking the lips.

And that’s just to start.

How apt. I was once prescribed this poison and took it for a few weeks, during which I felt decidedly 'tarded.
