Some reviews of Britney Spears’ recent performances are saying the repaired pop wreck is looking sluggish, and not quite as fluid as she did before.

According to reports, Brit’s recovery can likely be attributed to wonder drugs like Risperdal*, an anti-psychotic used to treat bipolar mania and schizophrenia in adults. It’s recommended that you don’t drive on it. Anything to keep Brit from driving is a good idea.

But c’mon, how do folks expect her to dance on these meds? Risperdal also makes you constipated, so she has to take a laxative, like Correctol. And it can give you trouble sleeping, so she probably takes a sleep aid, like Rozerem — reportedly every other night — and her dad sits up with her on the nights she doesn’t take it, earning every dime of his conservatorship check. Yeah, so she might look a little constipated.

Seroquel is another anti-psychotic she likely takes, which is used to treat bipolar disorder by regulating brain chemicals, and we know Brit’s brain is a complex web of Cheetos, grits and Mr. Pibb. Give the girl a break. If she bends over too much or too fast, she could pass out!

*What side effects might I encounter with RISPERDAL?

RISPERDAL^®(risperidone) has some possible side effects that you should know about.

With any medication, some people have side effects and some don’t. If you have any side effects with RISPERDAL, or feel you’re not getting better, please talk to your healthcare professional. Your healthcare professional may adjust the dose to help reduce or minimize your side effects.

The most common side effects that may occur with RISPERDAL are: somnolence, increased appetite, fatigue, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infection, vomiting, coughing, urinary incontinence, increased saliva, constipation, fever, tremors, muscle stiffness, abdominal pain, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, rash, restlessness, and indigestion.

Studies suggest an increased risk of elevated blood sugar-related side effects, and sometimes potentially fatal, in patients treated with this class of medications, including RISPERDAL. Some people may need regular blood sugar testing.

Some people taking RISPERDAL may feel faint or lightheaded when they stand up or sit up too quickly. By standing up or sitting up slowly and following your healthcare professional’s dosing instructions, this side effect may be reduced or it may go away over time.

You may have heard the term “extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS).” These are usually reversible movement disorders or muscle disturbances, such as restlessness, tremors, and muscle stiffness. Some people taking RISPERDAL have these side effects. If you have these symptoms, talk to your healthcare professional.

You may have heard the term “tardive dyskinesia.” These are potentially irreversible, uncontrollable, slow or jerky facial or body movements that can be caused by all medications of this type (antipsychotics). If you have these symptoms, talk to your healthcare professional. Only your healthcare professional should adjust your dose or stop your medication.

There are some medications that interact with RISPERDAL. Please inform your healthcare professional of all medications or supplements that you are taking.
