Somehow that doesn't surprise me very much. It seems like any NEWER medication has all of the negatives carefully "spun down" and buried, and you only see the true picture after a few years of clinical experience, and THEN the adverse reactions get tallied up. I'm glad you brought up your endo's clinical experience. I was on Risperdal for awhile a few years ago, and I got EPS, then I switched from Risperdal to Seroquel. Don't know if it is coincidence or not, but I stopped the Seroquel (I was getting panic attacks-being off benzos and SSRIs for a few weeks), and within a couple of weeks my GP had found a thyroid tumor. It was just a slight enlargement, but it grew really fast. That is spooky that your endo said that.
