[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 512309, member: 1550"] I have to go so I didn't read everyone's responses, but I will give my experience on Risperdal and other anti-psychotics and also something I read: Our son had many bad side effects on Risperdal and Zyprexa...dangerous ones...and if anything he became depressed, overly tired, and sick on them both. Seroquel he tolerated. I don't think it helped him one way or the other but it didn't make him sick. It did help make him very hungry, if this is something that bothers you. But he was also on Lithum, another medication that ramps up your appetite. All in all, my particular son, who is different from yours, does much better NOT on medication. He hates medications too and thinks they make him "too sleepy." I read an article, and I wish I could recall where, on antipsychotics. This was in some psychiatric mag. Sorry again that I can't remember where. It's own deduction was that antipsychotics work for aggression in the short term, but do not last for that particular symptom. They do help long term for hallucinations, but not aggression. Whether or not this is right, I don't know. Just passing it along. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
