[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 326235, member: 1991"] The dose could be too high in this case. You really can't know before the medication course is begun, what is the best dose for tat person. We found with difficult child 3, he was able to take a lot more (about three times as much) as difficult child 1, who was ten years older. difficult child 1 was sedated so fast, he would be asleep half an hour after taing his risperdal so he was only able to take it at night. difficult child 3, on the other hand, was taking it morning and night and did not seem to be sedated at all. Also the weight gain - both boys ate more but you couldn't see much difference with difficult child 3. But difficult child 1 - doubled his weight in six months. He went from having a six-pack, to a beer keg. However, when we stopped their medications (especially difficult child 1's) the extra weight came off (not too fast) and both boys are now back to their skinny selves. Marg [/QUOTE]
