Maker of Risperdal is NAMI's 2nd largest donar in 4th Q 2016

Over the course of 20 years, Johnson & Johnson created a powerful drug, promoted it illegally to children and the elderly, covered up the side effects and made billions of dollars. This is the inside story. http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/miracleindustry/americas-most-admired-lawbreaker/

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the nation's largest "grassroots" mental health organization dedicated to increasing profits for its pharmaceutical company paymasters.

Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by a grassroots participant(s).

I don't know re. you, but I love Risperdal. I take Risperdal Consta 37.5 mg IM every two weeks along with Seroquel and Geodon and it keeps me from having absolutely paralyzing auditory and visual hallucinations and torturous mindreading paranoia and paranoid thoughts. I don't know what I would do without my atypical antipsychotics. Probably go the way of my schizophrenic son. That is, to the grave.

I'm sorry to hear about your son. Good to hear that this medication seems to help you. If its use is absolutely necessary to stop hallucinations and dellusions then it is useful. But don't forget that many people are forcefully placed on this medication when they are not necessarily in need of it. Some simply have depression or have been falsely misdiagnosed. In this case, the panoply of side-effects does at all justify use of this medication. I myself was forcefully placed on the medication after a psychotic episode. Now, I frankly admit it was useful to me at first to calm me down. But it was forced on me for a prolonged period of time which I found to be unjustified and felt some side effects like weight gain, high cholesterol and disruption to liver function.

Eek! I loathe Huffpost haha

Secondly, let's turn the tables...if the drug companies weren't donating monies to the organizations such as NAMI, then what would people be saying then? They would be ridiculing them for not donating, perhaps?

Interesting topic, really. I came to this forum only recently, and I like that there is an "anti" page, because one of my conundrums in life is that I'm so often an "anti" person. I like controversy.

Yes, atypical antipsychotics are definitely useful to some people. I know they are for me. I don't know what I would do without them. I would be living in constant torture without them. You can't make a blanket statement and say they are all bad.

NAMI colluding with criminals.

Plastic Legos stamped "RISPERDAL" were a fixture at pediatricians' offices nationwide.

OK other sources.

Though Risperdal was marketed as a less dangerous—if not more effective—alternative to older "typical" anti-psychotics, it quickly became apparent that the drug had many worrisome side effects in adults, including the rapid onset of diabetes and alarming weight gains. But despite a growing weight of evidence about the drugs, J&J only stepped up its promotion of the drug for children—aiming for more conditions and in ever-younger kids—no doubt to squeeze as many profits as possible out of this lemon before the FDA ordered them to stamp a warning on the label or withdraw it from the market altogether.

Not surprisingly, teens and kids soon started developing the same symptoms of drug-induced diabetes and weight gain that were experienced by their adult counterparts. Several also developed a bizarre condition called galactorrhea, in which milk flows spontaneously from the nipples of your breasts—girls and boys alike—a happening that is likely to drive even the most balanced teen around the bend. https://www.thefix.com/content/jj-sued- ... s?page=all

"Risperidone for Adolescent Aggression (30 Nov 96)

In a case report, control of aggression was achieved with risperidone therapy in six patients, aged eight to 14 years. All displayed aggressive behaviors that ranged from destructiveness to physical violence. Risperidone therapy produced dosage-related side effects in all six patients, but extrapyramidal side effects (resembling Parkinson's disease) were avoided at dosages below 3mg/day in adolescents and 2mg/day in children. --Medical Focus, Winter 1996 " https://web.archive.org/web/19961221104 ... .nami.org/

NAMI has been colluding with these criminals for decades.

These cockroaches are human cause the Huffington post wrote about them ??

Hi, we are the "National Alliance on Mental Illness" so what if you people are complete psychos and poisoned thousands and thousands of little children, knew it all along, just give us money and we will let that little crime against humanity slide without a word.

The one I bash is Zyprexa, $#%^ almost killed me, Wikipedia should write "Olanzapine a white crystalline powder, evil dug up from hell and spread on the earth." That would be more accurate then all the chemistry stuff. Seroquel I think is useful for insomnia.

I can make a blanket statement that based on their behavior that the people running the psychiatric industry are complete psychos, cockroaches posing as humans becuase there is no other possible logical reason these people commit crime after crime after crime with no regard what so ever for their victims. That Risperdal scandal, what they did to those kids, was pretty big deal.
