[QUOTE="totoro, post: 20031, member: 3155"] So I am trying to be patient here... ha ha. But, difficult child increased her Risperdal from .25mg bid to .50mg bid as of last Thursday. So it has been 5 actual days (complete doses) She wet her bed last night, did not wake up. Has gained another pound, this is now 6 pounds in 8 weeks. With heavy duty food monitoring and an increase in exercise. She is still a wreck since the increase... up and down all day, anxious, depressed, aggitated, worried, having weird thoughts, everything scares her, hyper, hungry, very labile, everything just seems to have increased in the past 2+ weeks and this medication increase hasn't affected her yet. Should it have??? I am trying to give it some time before we call her psychiatrist, I just don't know when is it time to try something else. I know when you first start the Risperdal you need to give it 6 to 8 weeks to really balance them out, but what about an increase??? husband is out of town working and I have 2 kids who are so emotional right now I feel really bad for them. But difficult child is just struggling, she does really well with husband working back and forth so far, because she gets so much special time from him when he is here that she kind of likes it now. I am trying to keep her busy so her little mind won't run amock... but she gets so overwhelmed so easy. Again it is like back to before the Riperdal with a decrease in the violence still. Thanks guy's [/QUOTE]
