[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 28845, member: 1991"] I've had both boys on risperdal. difficult child 1 was on quarter of a tablet twice a day but quickly had to go down to evening only (and that, right before bedtime) because he would go straight to sleep and couldn't be roused. difficult child 3, on the other hand, took three times that amount in two doses and was completely unfazed by it. difficult child 1 doubled his weight in six months. difficult child 3 didn't gain anything more than he should have, although since going off it (because it was making very little difference and costing us too much) he lost weight. I'd talk to the doctor about cutting the dosage and only giving it to him in the evening, right before bedtime. Then keep an eye on him the following day to make sure the sedation isn't continuing.
