[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 414127, member: 2423"] My son had a reaction to Risperdal called akathisia. Akathisia is a feeling of internal and external restlessness that can fuel increased agitation and irritability. It can be confused with the symptoms you're trying to treat so some psychiatrists keep increasing the Risperdal dose instead of realizing it's a side effect. Fortunately, we realized what was going on and discontinued the medication. I agree with discussing your son's reaction to Risperdal with his psychiatrist. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
