[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 34006, member: 831"] Son has had a positive response to Risperdal and no obsessive behaviors. But, every one responds differently to medications. Son has been taking it for 2 1/2 years. We decided to add Straterra last year because of his struggle to focus, and pay attention, but it made no noticable difference after three months. So, I discontinued it. Unfortunately, stimulants only increased his irritability, and that is one of reasons he take Risperdal. I try to avoid using one medication to counteract the side effects of another unless there is a big positive response. It was my understanding that Strattera takes 4 to 6 weeks to be effective. But, I like to keep an open mind because anything is possible. [/QUOTE]
