This video describes the story of a young 19 year-old boy named John. He began taking Risperdal when he was 7 for his ADD. Aside from other negative side effects such as aggressiveness, sleepiness, and bowel problems, John developed a condition called Gynecomastia—the growth of female breasts. His Mom mentioned that John even asked her if he was a girl. Unfortunately for many young boys like John who have taken Risperdal, this condition has brought on much grief and sorrow during their young years. Janssen, the company that makes Risperdal, is now being sued for marketing Risperdal for unapproved uses and for downplaying the risks of the medication.
