[QUOTE="buddy, post: 472477, member: 12886"] My son has a brain injury and autism and we tried both Risperdal/risperdone and seroquel. He raged and became totally out of control with the first dosage levels. His new psychiatrist has said that one reason that some kids (like mine who has very low enzymes for processing these drugs) react poorly at the lower doses because they are not working on the right brain chemical system that needs to be targeted for them...the higher doses then can do that. (or it might not work at all but she said that is what happens for some kids). So if we were to ever try again, it would be under medical supervision and he would be started at a high dose and brought down to the lowest possible dose that works. I think it is really important to find a doctor who knows their stuff and is willing to talk to everyone you feel has insight into the big picture of your child. Just MHO. I feel blessed that medications help my son though finding the right ones is a big challenge. [/QUOTE]
