Risperdal and Gynacomastia

When visiting the USA recently, i was surprised to see on TV that any one who has used Risperdal and seen signs of gynacomastia should report to be compensated. This struck a cord because my son has developed gynacomastia after using risperdal for 4 years. The drug was excellent in 'calming' him and therefore facilitated some of the learning he achieved, however the side effects were tremendous including excessive weight gain, diabetic-like symptoms such as excessive urination and increased appetite. After stopping the drug however some of the symptoms disappeared but excessive weight and gynacomastia are still there. I live in Tanzania so i know that compensation would be difficult! Anyway sometimes as parents we do face the difficult decision of 'risks versus benefits' and i am so sad of what has happened, the weight was so much until he had to be operated on one of his knee! Seriously i wish they would compensate some of us - who do not live in the US.
