[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 141947, member: 2423"] How long had he been taking Zyprexa? What dose? My daughter M has been on Zyprexa since June 2006 with no side effects save the normal hunger and weight gain. My son J had a bad reaction to the AP Risperdal. He had uncontrollable mouth opening, tongue thrusting and lip licking (dystonia) to the point of developing a staph infection all around his mouth and external and internal restlessless akin to agitation (akathisia). Needless to say, we pulled him off Risperdal, and he has never taken it again. In fact, we were so spooked by J's experience with Risperdal that we waited more than 2 years to trial another AP. In December, he started taking Seroquel, which our neuro said is a "softer" AP, and he's the best he's been in years. I see you're weaning your difficult child 2 from mood stabilizers. Are APs the treatment for Sydenham's Chorea? What's going to happen now? [/QUOTE]
