[QUOTE="IT1967, post: 602691, member: 15615"] I am struggling with-the same issue with-my kids who are on Risperdal. I *think* the weight gain has levelled off a bit, but they're so active in the summer. I'm taking both kids in for weight checks in August to assess where we're at. My difficult child 1 is having more of a problem with-the constant hunger than my difficult child 2 because he's on a much lower dose. Both my difficult child's are also on an ADHD medication (spacing on which one, since we've tried so many!). So the hunger isn't bad at all during the day. But from after school until literally she falls asleep she's famished. It kills me. She is a healthy eater, and thankfully has always been thin, but at some point, I'm petrified this is going to cause a problem. My psychiatrist has blown off my concerns (I also live in OH, wonder if we have the same one?) I'm scared because on the weekends, I've been cutting her nighttime dose in half and I can see a difference in how she handles stress. She's much quicker to snap at everyone. :( I'm keeping a VERY close eye on it, because for the moment, it's manageable, but I absolutely refuse to trade one problem for another. If the weight becomes more of an issue, we're going to have to find other solutions. I guess what I'm saying is I feel your pain. [/QUOTE]
