[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 163942, member: 2423"] I'm sorry for your hurting mommy heart. This has to be very difficult for you. But the very behaviors you saw that sent you to seek help are the very behaviors that are being seen in the psychiatric hospital and are getting your difficult child a diagnosis that will led to help. Risperdal is an atypical antipsychotic that treats the distorted thinking. That's why the docs are prescribing it. But if it doesn't work like the last time, there are other atypical antipsychotics that might work better. medication trials unfortunately take a lot of time. Because your difficult child also has a diagnosis of Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified, he may need a mood stabilizer in addition to an atypical antipsychotic. First-line mood stabilizers are Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Trileptal and Tegretol. Hang in there. We're here for you. [/QUOTE]
