[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 449106"] Just going to throw something out here that I have experienced personally with my difficult child. My difficult child is on the autism spectrum. The psychiatrist put him on risperdal to "help with the autistic anxiety". What ended up happening is that the risperdal made things sooooo much worse that he had become very psychotic. It started so gradually that it took time to realize he was having a paradoxical reaction to the risperdal. We d/c'd the risperdal and within 6-8 weeks, those severe behaviors disappeared. Don't know if that helps or not but it might be time to take him off the risperdal since it's not helping anyway and see of the "psychotic" stuff stops. If it were me, I would not immediately replace it with something else. Anyway, that's just from my experience. [/QUOTE]
