[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 234043, member: 1233"] WOW! Wiz took risperdal for a LONG time. But given his aggression, and his young age, there really were no alternatives other than AP's. This is scary. I am so thankful he is off of them now. They certainly are not a medication to be prescribed lightly. I always worry about all the serious medications our kids are on. I do have to say that even knowing this we would have kept Wiz on the risperdal at the time. It was for safety reasons. Without it he probably would have killed one of us (and I don't say that lightly or jokingly in any way). Or killed himself. But we WOULD have taken measures to improve the health of his heart. I wonder if the risk stays after the medication is stopped, and for how long? I didn't see anything about that in the study. I will say prayers for all our kids who are taking these medications.
