[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 365089, member: 1550"] My personal opinion is that mixing stims and Risperdal is not a good idea. One speeds you up, the other slows you down. Again JMO...I wouldn't do it. Risperdal was horrible for my son. If the Risperdal is causing the involuntary movement it could become permanent so be careful. It they get worse, he needs to have the psychiatrist take him off of it. Also, headaches, overly sleepy, flu symptoms and just plain sadness can happen on Risperdal and it did all that to my son. It was horrible for him and never got better. So please watch out. medications are hit and miss and are different for different kids. And some doctors are not as proficient in prescribing medications as others are. I am not convinced that your son had a willful tantrum. My son used to cry constantly on the Risperdal. It made him incredibly sad and he couldn't help it. A gentle reminder: Our kids are not our k ids to make us happy. These special children are not like other children are and won't give us the same perks and it's best to lower expectations as far as "typical" behaviors. Often they just can't do it. It makes us sad...we want our kids to do what other kids do, but, in our hearts, we know they are different. Take care of yourself, please. [/QUOTE]
