[QUOTE="agee, post: 341598"] The Risperdal didn't seem to do anything. At the initial dose, 8 months ago, we saw some improvement, but when we upped it before Xmas - nothing. The Vyvanse helps him calm down enough so he can get through school. He still has a lot of behavioral problems there but at least the teacher can teach the whole class now. For the month with no stimulant. the teacher said there were days when he and the assistant took turns only focusing in difficult child. His teacher is nice, but pretty clueless. Last week he told me in the 7 years he's been teaching he's never been part of an IEP and certainly never initiated one. I have a hard time believing that out of the 140 kids who he's taught there's never been one with a learning difference. Basically, his way of dealing with difficult child is to let a lot of his behaviors slide. Which I guess is good because it means that difficult child isn't in trouble all of the time, but it also means that I don't have accurate info. to give the administration. Grr. At home I see less of a difference, but he's definitely worse when not on the stimulant, and even though Vyvanse has lasted the longest in his system than any other stimulant it really only lasts about 6 hours. We have a script for a Ritalin booster but the dr. asked us to wait until we get the Abilify dosage worked out. 1 thing at a time. Just tired, but thankful for the advice here. A [/QUOTE]
