[QUOTE="totoro, post: 20360, member: 3155"] So for now we are going with .25mg risperdal bid starting tonight the cogentin is to be taken as needed... with hope that with the lower dose of Risperdal she wont be as bad, and to add the Trileptal 150mg at bedtime for 3 days; then 1 tab twice daily for 3 days; then 2 tabs at bedtime and 1 tab in the morning for 3 days; then 2 tabs twice daily for a total of 600mg. pediatrician is willing to go slower also. psychiatrist gave us this dosage based on weight. 52 pounds. I am trying to chart everything... some days are better than others... But let me tell you just going to pick up these medications and run to get milk and cereal today was like a marathon with these 2!!! difficult child is such a wreck... I am willing to try anything at this point!!! I asked about stopping the Risperdal and said how I feel like it isn't helping, pediatrician. would like to keep going with it until our new psychiatrist apt, just so we know all reactions and to get her adjusted to the Trileptal. She also said difficult child may adjust to the lower dose and do well with the combo... hmmm I have my doubts. But maybe. [/QUOTE]
