risperdone

Hello out there - Well, the moniker says it all. AHHUM: Angry Harsh Hostile Unloving Mom These are all the names I have been called while trying to navigate the so-called authorities & bureaucrates over the last 4 years. Here's our story: Son is 15, 16 in April Son ran away for 10 days...

I am new here, so I'll try not to make this too long. Here's our background. We have a 10 year old non verbal autistic child. During the summer he started having horrible fits of rage all day long. We finally decided to take him to a psychiatric dr. He was being incredibly aggressive at school...

I have a 6 year old in kindergarten who just just not listen to me at all and is physically agressive in school and at home and grabs from other children and teases them. Ofcourse she has no friends or playdates and I have no friendships with the classmates parents and am lonely, depressed...

Today Carson got his 1st six weeks report card. He had an A's, several B's and 2 C's. At the 3 week progress report time he was failing SEVERAL classes, due to him not doing work in class. One of his teachers, who I actually really like, said to me "Looks like he just needed a new medicine...

Please excuse the ramblings of this post. I'm hoping that this makes sense and maybe ya'll have some advice for me. difficult child is headed to his second appointment with psychiatrist tomorrow. I'm very impressed with psychiatrist, he believes that most decisions should be parent and patient lead and he is willing to listen...

Tommy has been on medications in some form or other for the last four years. It's been that long since we've seen our child medication-free. I think for that reason alone and the fact that not only has his weight gotten out of control, bringing his self-esteem down and giving the kids one more...

He has been, basically manic, for over 3 weeks. It was heartbreaking to leavwye him there last night. I have a meeting this morning with his doctor and staff. They have a tenative discharge date of April 12. But the told Carson it would be more like 2 weeks. Hes over an hour from us but I will...

Last time I was here we were going up on his Risperidone. He was having serious bouts of aggression (pulled a knife on his sister, cut my finger). He now takes one and a half of Risperdone. Plus the Celexa and the Intuniv. Surprisingly, to me anyway, it worked. We had no major tantrums...

I've never joined a forum before but I need to talk to someone that has similiar problems like I am dealing with. I have a darling 8 yr old daughter that is seeing a child psychiatrist for anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but she has horrible rage attacks...we had her on Paxil and it didn't work, she stopped...

This is a medication question so I'll brief recent medication changes for difficult child..(his next appointment with psychiatrist is Jan 12, or sometime that week- psychiatrist will not want a phone call before then.) Before Oct: Lithobid raised from 900 to 1200mg/day; depakote er remains at 500 mg/day; AP's had been tried prn but didn't...

Haven't been on this board for over a year. Nothing much have changed. our 13 years old has gotten so big in size and has been always trying to resolve issues by physical aggression. And dad is losing it and they got into a fight this afternoon. its not right for an adult to lose it with his...

First post! Every forum has its own unwritten rules, so please be patient with me as I learn the ropes!! Thanks! Help! Hubby was the one who found this forum and suggested I join. My difficult child has been on Risperidone for a bit over a year. Her serious Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is nearly controlled, but she is still very...

I am so tired to seeing new Psychiatrists for difficult child 1....I swear for years it's all I did. Constantly searching for answers and NOT ONE of them has ever agreed on a diagnoses...I guess this should have been my first clue. So for the last year, we've been somewhat MIA from any psychiatrist's office (a...
