schizophrenia
"I'm very frustrated right at the moment. My son who is 37 years old and has been on risperdal for 5 years. Now he decides he doesn't need it anymore. Well the voices are totally out of control. He can't even hear me when I talk to him, because the voices are so loud. He doesn't sleep, he talks constantly to them. I just wish he would take the medicines. We've been dealing with this for 17 years, so I do know that this medication works to quieten the voices."
