[QUOTE="slsh, post: 234616, member: 8"] Loth - when thank you was Missy's age, Risperdal was the miracle medication but it also got titrated up frequently. I don't remember increments but I do know that he maxed out at a whopping 8 mg a day (divided doses). At that point he had some pretty significant side effects and it really has just lost its effectiveness. He would have been just turning 9, because it was right before he left for Residential Treatment Center (RTC) #1; probably weighed about 110. Yep, very frequent up-titrations back then. He's been back on it for 7 years (I think) and it seems like we haven't had to titrate in a very long time - current dose is 0.5 mg in the morning and 2.5 mg at night. [/QUOTE]
