[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 157870, member: 3444"] He had a nuchal cord at birth (wrapped around his neck) so perhaps that was a hypoxic event that started things? I don't think we could survive very long without medications. The two weeks last summer he was off everything was horrible. And I would only have about 8 weeks this summer for a medication holiday before school starts. The thought of going backwards is frightening. I do see improvements in some areas on Risperdal. It's subtle things like being more aware of his environment, taking better care of his things, expressing his feelings better. But maybe that can also be acheived on other medications, too. Sara, thank you so much for spending the time to respond to my anxious ramblings! You've given me a lot to think about and more questions for the psychiatrist and neuro on Tuesday. Smallworld, KLMNO and Oceans, thank you also for your posts. The collective knowledge on this board is second only to the care and compassion that is shared here on a daily basis :D [/QUOTE]
