[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 212540, member: 831"] I still remember when Son first started Risperdal. We had tried a few stims for him, to no avail. All the focus had been on the hyperactivity. He was so angry and irritable all the time. We could never go out as a family because he would ruin for everyone. Then, he began taking it. What a difference. He could actually play with the neighborhood kids without a complete meltdown because he didn't want to follow the rules. I still remember other kid's perplexed looks when he would go into a rage over some silly thing. Then, we actually made it through a dinner out without him being nasty, grumpy, and yelling. It was amazing. I felt kinda like we were a regular family. However, it's been far from perfect. There are days when I want to wring his skinny little neck! Now he's twelve and acts like a complete jerk sometimes. Other times, he wonderful and sweet. He's still hyperactive (never been able to find anything for that), but it's managable. There have been days when he lied about taking it, or I forgot to check to see if he took it. OMG! Horrible! It is a way of reminding me to stay on top of it. [/QUOTE]
