[QUOTE="dad_of_3, post: 302040, member: 7921"] Today went well. We are going to try a higher dose of Risperdal and got more recommendations on a therapist. Our former therapist was good, but she had been treating our difficult child for three years and I think they both needed the change because whatever used to work was no longer effective in getting through to her. That is another frustrating part of this experience, our difficult child knows the methods and suggestions that her therapist and her parents are giving her are fundamentally sound but when she loses it, reason goes out the window as well. Yesterday (also first day of school) was particularly rough. School went well as usual but it was game on when she got home. Two huge meltdowns over the silliest things. The first was because we were not having tacos for dinner but rather rigatoni (which is far superior in my humble opinion). The second was about taking a shower (even with ample warning). Anyway, the psychiatric is attentive and feels we are on the right track, now I just need to find a new therapist and that is not easy. I hate my difficult child going through the churn of medication and doctors. Thanks for checking up on us. [/QUOTE]
