[QUOTE="slsh, post: 464308, member: 8"] Wow, wow.... wow. Sounds like a *horrible* morning. You know what? I personally wouldn't give him the a.m. dose of risperdal again on a school day. We had a similar reaction a gazillion years ago to Ritalin - fortunately, I somehow had the presence of mind to try it on a Saturday. Within 30 minutes of the dose, he turned into an absolute tornado. Hmmmm..... so I held off for a week, tried again the next Saturday, and it was 100 times worse - ended up with an 8-year-old brandishing scissors. I called 911, or at least tried to, unsuccessfully because he literally cut the phone line (old phone with- cord). Ritalin has been listed as an allergy for him ever since, LOL. Of course, absolutely check with- psychiatrist before you do any changes, but it might be something to remember in the future - new medications on weekends. In my book - your morning was *way* more than "irritable". :winking: You sound remarkably calm. Sounds like you handled it pretty darn well. [/QUOTE]
