[QUOTE="mavh2005, post: 325887, member: 7936"] difficult child has an appointment with psychiatrist tomorrow. she's on .5 mg of risperdal twice a day and 1mg of tenex (generic) every night. husband and I are very concerned about her weight gain since she started the risperdal and the sudden sleepiness during the day that just started in the last month or so. 1 of the psychiatrists said we could skip the tenex on the weekends if we wanted too.. well I skipped her tenex on Monday and Tuesday nights.. no falling asleep in class those 2 days!! So I'm guessing the tenex is what is doing it or could it be a combo? I'm planning on mentioning all of this to the doctor tomorrow... but very nervous he'll want to try switching drugs or something. We're new to the medicines. difficult child has improved so much with the risperdal and in some ways I'm almost willing to deal with the weight gain. I just don't know what to do... so much has happened in the last month I don't even know what to tell the psychiatrist tomorrow. The therapist has heard it all and I"m sure she's filled the psychiatrist in or at least I hope she has. Frustrated and tired Michelle [/QUOTE]
