[QUOTE="seekingsanity4, post: 421987"] Thanks for all of the support. I liked the new psychiatrist I think. He was very thorough with his questions, listened to me sincerely and seemed to respect my concerns about the medications....and I was very honest about how I felt about Dyson's medication history and how I never felt like I even knew what I should have been watching for. He gave me a new script for the Risperdone in a smaller dose and a schedule of weaning ( down .25 mg every week now) and also some funky chart thing like I've never seen to chart the mood swings so he can look for a pattern. So far, not a single psychiatrist we've ever had asked me to do that, so I think that's a good sign. PLUS, Dyson was in a HORRIBLE mood when we went, so while somewhat embarassing, I realized it was just as well this psychiatrist see him in one of his "moods" to better understand what I'm dealing with. So, we start the backpeddling of medication reduction and we'll see where we get...we go back in 3 weeks for a follow up (he'll be down to .75mg a day then) and go from there. I cannot wait to be done with Risperdone!!! [/QUOTE]
