[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 234079, member: 3444"] Well, I have to say that Risperdal really helped difficult child 2 for a while and now Seroquel seems to have him fairly stable. So like somebody said here, what other option do you have? I do think the study was looking more at the elderly, but it didn't say WHY the risk was increased. I mean, what's it doing to them, what strain is it putting on them? I should do a little more digging and reading because I'm sure it has to be there, most likely in the original report if you can access it. Our psychiatrist has never mentioned anything about a baseline EKG either for this medication. And I'm the one who had to ask about a fasting glucose test since difficult child 2's weight is up. He agreed it was a good idea, and I really do think he's a good psychiatrist, but I sometimes think he is so overloaded that he's not watching all the details he maybe should. [/QUOTE]
