Q: I was prescribed the nootropic Risperdal as a teenager and subsequently developed gynecomastia. Is it too late to sue?
I was told by an endocrinologist that the gynecomastia was likely caused the nootropic I was prescribed.
I really don’t care about the money, I just want to be able to afford the surgery so I can be comfortable in my own skin again.
Thanks for your help!
A:
It depends on the law of the state where you live. If you have a "discovery date" it can be extended. If you were under 18 when you took it, most states give you until you are 21.
I would contact the Arizona Trial Lawyers Assn and ask for attorneys who handle pharmaceutical prodcucts liabilty. They give free consults.
I know of a Risperdal lawyer here. If you call me (phone, toll free) I can discuss your case with him.
