difficult child had his appointment with the psychiatrist this afternoon. He agreed that an increase in the risperdal was a good idea because of how much he grew (more than 4 inches and 20 pounds in 6 months). The psychiatrist feels that he will now be on a high dose of risperdal (4 mgs. per day, 2 in the morning, 2 at night) and he wants to see how he does on it. If we're still seeing problems with impulsivity, anxiety and physical aggression he thinks that adding Intuniv would be helpful. We've tried several of the SSRI class of drugs, but they don't mix well with difficult child, so we are in agreement that we need to steer clear of those. Anyone here have a kid who does not have ADHD who takes Intuniv? What did they take it for and was it helpful?
