[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 400117, member: 1872"] Pam, Risperdal was the magic bullet for our gfg13 for a long time -- about two years. He was able to mature a [U]lot[/U] while taking Risperdal. Then he had an elevated prolactin level and we had to discontinue. Nothing has ever worked as well. Something to keep an eye on -- like if you notice undue breast development on your little guy. Our gfg13 never had that, but after quite awhile on Risperdal I asked the psychiatrist to check the prolactin level, and it was elevated. Dang. How I miss it. Also watch for weight gain due to metabolic processes which cause a voracious appetite. Our difficult child never had a problem with that, though. Many don't. Not meaning to discourage -- just give you a heads-up as a fellow mom. My difficult child is on clozaril, which is notorious for weight gain, but we have not had a problem (fingers crossed). May your difficult child continue to do well on Risperdal. Jo [/QUOTE]
