Accepted Answer

Dose of Risperdone: important. See more anticholinergic side effects at doses greater than 1 mg. Parkinsonism above mg. Concomitant use of Ginko may worsen situation. Ginko has not shown to improve long term cogntive issues. One study in China with concomitant use of Risperdal has been completed but results are unavailable at this time. Another study looking at use of Risperdal with Ginko in autism showed no benefit.

Question 6

i take lecithin on my own for my nervous system but is expired is it going to work for me, how long does it take for me to feel better?

Accepted Answer

: The benefit of lecithin for nervous system is still controversial and you also used an expired product so I do not think we can answer your question at all.

Question 7

could lecithin be used for gall stones?

Accepted Answer

IT won't help: If gallstones don't bother you, nothing needs to be done. If you're having biliary colic and fatty food intolerance, you need to have the gb removed. Lecithin will have no benefit in either situation. Good luck.

For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
