My husband was taken off a breathing tube after having a critical illness. He was given risperdal. His was getting better the first 2 days and than went down hill high fever, non responsive and when they went to put the breathing tube back in they found a build up of flem in his throat. In my opinion it was the fault of the risperdal and improper mouth care from the caregivers. What is your opinion on reisperdal?
Should he have been left on risperdal for 5 days after tube removal?
