[QUOTE="joneshockey, post: 398080"] My 4 year old son is on Risperdal (since July 2010) and it has done WONDERS for his behavior. He currently takes 1/4 of a .25mg tablet at breakfast, 1/4 tablet at 3:00 and 3/4 tablet at bedtime. He had HORRIBLE behavior issues prior to going on medication (hitting, kicking, spitting, throwing things, scratching, biting, urinating & deficating in the house, sleep issues at night, etc.) and he is a TOTALLY different child now. I was also VERY concerned at first about putting him on medication, but I was at my whits end with him and counciling 1 time per week was not changing his behavior at all. I know we are in different situations, since my child has a different diagnosis but it has been VERY effective for him. Just be prepared if you do use the medication with your daughter that it takes awhile before you will know the full effect of the medication (it takes a period of about 2 weeks for the medication to be completely in her system). I would also recommend keeping a journal both at home and one for the teacher to write in so that when you go back to the doctor you will have documentation of how her behaviors have changed or improved. If you ever have any other questions about my experince with the medication don't hesistate to ask. [/QUOTE]
