[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 150927, member: 1991"] It's good that it worked out. But from our experience - with such a low dose as your child is on, you probably wouldn't have had too many problems with withdrawal. The biggest things you would have noticed would be a child who was not interested in eating as much, and a child who was very awake, very active for a lot longer than usual. When we took difficult child 1 off his risperdal, I think we just stopped it (he was on quarter tablet in the evenings). But when we took difficult child 3 off it, we cut back gradually, we COULD do this because he was on four times the dose as his big brother. For future reference - if you always use the same pharmacy, chances are he will give you a foil in advance, which he will then withhold from the box when you get the official repeat prescription. We have to do this sometimes. Or what also happens - the pharmacist is out of stock so he gives us part of what medications we're supposed to have, then orders more in. He then gives us the rest when we either call in for it, or next time we're there for any other reason. It's handy to know you have an option. Marg [/QUOTE]
