[QUOTE="3sacharm, post: 77469, member: 171"] So just this past Monday we went to the psychiatrist for the routine visit. My son who is Bipolar (and never sad or depressed) has been treated with Lithium (mood stabilzer) for almost 2 years. Recently, he has had some struggles with frustration and rageing outboursts at school ( a new school) and the director asked me to ask the psychiatrist about Risperadol. He takes Metadate (stimulant) in addition to the lithium. We went through almost every stimulant before we found Metadate. [b]Anyway, my point... [/b]The psychiatrist felt that Riperadol was one of the last things she wanted to try, instead she upped the metadate with a mid day booster. She told me she she would rather try clonodine or tenex before going to the antisphychiotc class. Every kid is different and the issues are different as well, but that was her take on risperadol for my son. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
