[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 158118, member: 2423"] Hi there, sounds as if it's still hopping in your household. A few thoughts for you: Sara mentioned akathisia. My son experienced akathisia on Risperdal (0.5 mg BID). Akathisia is internal and external restlessnes akin to agitation. My son acted as if he wanted to jump out of his skin. When my son first started Seroquel (Risperdal's cousin) while in day treatment last winter, he said he was experiencing depersonalization -- "like watching youself from a foggy third person dream" (from the psychiatrist's hospital notes). This side effect did go away in time. Could this be what your son means when he says he feels weird? In terms of depression, my understanding is that Seroquel is better at treating depression than Risperdal. Perhaps the switch from Seroquel to Risperdal has caused your difficult child to feel more depressed? [/QUOTE]
