[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 716185, member: 1550"] As far as I know they dont lab test Risperdal. In case you werent told, Risperdal is an antipsychotic used off label for other things. It doesnt hurt to try if you watch very closely. VERY closely. Be a proactive mom. If your psychiatrist was not upfront about this being an antipsychotic and warning you about the possibility of movement disorders, is he or she the type of doctor who respects you as intelligent and is open with you? I would demand openness or find another psychiatrist to do the prescribing. These are serious drugs. I am guessing they are a step more serious than antidepressants, but not sure. Know everything before you give a medication to a child. Educate yourself. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
