[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 58935, member: 2960"] Risperdal was a flipping nightmare in our house. Cub was tired, crabby, put on weight(which upset him greatly), and started wetting the bed a lot more because he'd sleep so deeply. We didn't see it doing a single good thing for him. BUT -- it works great for many cubs so many docs try it first. Lamictal was our fourth trial and it's a godsend for our cub. You might hit a homer the first time at bat and find that Risperdal is great for your cub. I'd suggest documenting your observations so you have some concrete stuff to tell the doctor as you work on finding the right medication and dosage for your cub. "It didn't seem to help much" or "I guess he's a little better" seemed like good summaries at the time when we were first exploring drugs, but after a few months, I didn't really remember why I thought that about certain drugs and dosages. I wish I had done a better job documenting his behaviors, like how many rages he had and how long they lasted. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
