[QUOTE="tired Cheryl, post: 82760, member: 4109"] Hi, I am going through the same exact scenario! I relented to trying Riperdal when difficult child was kicked out of private prechool two weeks ago (he had failed at two others as well.) That evening we started him on 0.25mgs and did not notice any change for four days. Then it was very nice. Subtle but nice. Fewer meltdowns and less intense for about a week. This Sunday we were back to square one. Had appointment with neurologist today and she told me that most kids with these problems need around 3 mgs but they always start as low as possible. She is increasing his dose to 0.5 every night and if that doesn't help we will add another 0.25 in the am. He had a MAJOR meltdown at Children's hospital-will post more later I am eager to hear about your experiences. Feel free to PM me or I'll just keep checking the Gen Forum. Cheryl [/QUOTE]
