[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 323194, member: 2960"] Wasn't for us. We saw no benefit and the weight gain and accompanying self-esteem issues were big issues. He compared himself to Augustus Gloop (the greedy kid in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) so many times I still can't stand the sound of the name. Everything is a risk/benefit analysis. Our decision was pretty easy, but it sounds like yours isn't. You hate to mess with something that is actually working. Are your doctors concerned now? They may not have been when your difficult child was small, but they may want to do something slightly different. My difficult child packed it on while he was taking the Risperdal and lost it fairly quickly when he stopped. We hadn't gotten to the point where the doctor was worried, but I was getting bothered by the self-esteem issues. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
