Guess it's a good thing I wasn't holding my breath waiting for assistance from *that* source.) Geodon didn't work for you either? I wonder how it's doing with schizophrenics; it hasn't exactly reached warp speed with Babblers, from what I've read so far.
The easiest way to report any adverse reaction and/or problem would be through the FDA's MEDWATCH program...you can access them directly via the internet.https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/
or you can contact the FDA Office of Emergency Operations: 301-443-1240
