    I need help , My friend is having some issues.First of all she recently became very sick and was in a comma for about a week. She has COPD among other health problems. And ever since she came out of hosp she has been very paranoid and depressed .

    She cant walk straight , she talks to her self and when she tries to talk to me she mumbles. Her Doctor put her on a medication called risperidone, I feel as tho she has gotten worse mentally since she started taking the risperidone. Can anyone tell me what they know about this medication and is there anything that I can do to help her mentally? I would appreciate any input. Thanks DNanners..

    In regards to the meds I would do a Goggle search asking for side effects about the particular meds she is taking. Copd can be managed . Some homework on breathing exercises is recommended . Take a look at  www.a2zhealthbeautyandfitness.com  strange name but a great resource ,like a doctor in your back pocket.  The rest of the symptoms require more expertise than might be available here at least from me .             Bill

    Thanks hun I am just really worried about her, and sometimes it seems that the Doctors do more harm than good .Only because they prescribe meds just because the drug companies pay them . Also a regular physician should not be prescribing psychotropic drugs. Thanks for your input DNanners.
