[QUOTE="slsh, post: 258090, member: 8"] My difficult child was on propranolol for about 4 years. At the time he was put on it, his impulsiveness and agression were really quite bad (we're talking they were having to chemically restrain him at least 2-3 times a week at Residential Treatment Center (RTC)). We'd run thru every atypical antipsychotic, tried just about every combo and dosage out there. Risperdal was the only medication that ever touched the impulsive/agressive symptoms, but it ended up getting titrated to a ridiculously high dose. The addition of propranolol to his usual Depakote, a lower dose of risperdal... hmmm, I think there was something else in there, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was... anyway, it resulted in difficult child being the most stable he's ever been. Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but definitely much less agressive. They eventually went up a bit on Risperdal again but still to a lower dose than his max (which was 8 mg a day) and added Cogentin, but really, it was the best combo he's ever been on. [/QUOTE]
