[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 18732, member: 1550"] Hi, sorry things are tough. Risperdal is an antipsychotic, used for the short term for raging, but it's not a mood stabilizer and won't hold things for the long term. The mood stabilizers (first line) are Lamictal, Lithium, Trileptal, tegretal and Depakote. They take about eight weeks to kick in, but can last for years or forever. Also, I wouldn't take that trip for the birthday party with an unstable kid, even if the family gets mad. If he had a raging high fever they wouldn't expect you to attend and, in a way, this is even worse and certainly tougher. The kids well being has to come before the extended family's wishes and this may be a destabilizing trip for your child and for you! Hugs. [/QUOTE]
