[QUOTE="klmno, post: 160664, member: 3699"] He went from zyprexa to seroquel (not long enough to try manic dose- per psychiatrist's choice) and is now on risperdal. He is currently taking 1 mg and I have psychiatrist's permission to titrate him up to 4 mg per day. I haven't done this because his sleeping patterns are where they should be on this dose and difficult child was pretty upset over taking medications that just "zonked him out". If I raised the risperdal, would it only make him more sedated, or does it help with raging? The lithobid (900mg) used to wipe out raging completely, and take care of sleep problems. Then, it wasn't very effective. He's on 1200 mg of lithobid now and this is still a problem. He has put on weight and gotten taller- maybe he needs more lithobid. But, then, there is the issue of being jittery and haviing involuntary muscle movements. [/QUOTE]
