Hi! I'm new and in need of advice I hope I'm posting in the right forum. I have a 10 year old who is autistic and has adhd. His behavior is really bad, aggressive, and makes constant sounds with his mouth, and can't stay still. We stopped Quillivant Xr because it was causing more hyperactivity, He is on Guanfacine 2x a day but there is no improvement. Today the Dr. prescribed Valproic Acid and I read it causes Tardive dyskinesia. I stopped Risperidone a few months ago because it causes the same thing and Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and I was not aware. I feel terrible medicating but I feel so depressed already with his behavior and the school complaints.
Please give me advice.
Thanks
