[QUOTE="Shari, post: 136349, member: 1848"] He's at .5mg Risperdal in the am and 1mg in the afternoon. I'm told he can go up to 3mg/day. He's been on it a year and a half or so now. Could Risperdal possibly be used more on a prn basis? Or upped prn? We can certainly tell when if we miss his medications now. At least most of the time. He just has bouts of aggression - its not routine or daily anymore. DevPed is wanting to curb the hyper - she thinks calming him down wil make him less aggressive and impulsive. Personally, I don't think so, cause the aggression and impulsivity come and go while the hyper stays constant... And I've read so much about increased aggression in kids. And his psychiatrists and tdocs don't think he's adhd to begin with (yet devped is still the prescribing doctor at this point, I'm wondering if that shouldn't change...) I just dunno. Wish I just had answers! [/QUOTE]
