[QUOTE="Sgwindsor, post: 34121, member: 1798"] Our son eats very few foods. Foods he began to eat last spring he now will not touch. Foods need to be separate on the plate or plates and he sometimes will try to sneak in using extra forks or spoons. We try to make it no big deal as soon as he starts something new, like two forks, and just say that we all eat with one fork. For the most part we seem to keep most of it at bay but he seems to be getting worse. Most all of the underwear he socks that he used to wear which weren't an issue have become uncomfortable. He continually is pulling at his boxers/ behind area and says he feels like he has a wedgie. We have tried boxers, boxer briefs, and briefs in different brands and sizes. My one breakdown occurred last spring when an Occupational Therapist (OT) suggested I watch Nanny 911 for assisstance getting him to sleep. It was as though we had never used or attempted any routines. I should have mentioned that sleep (lack of) was a major issue before Risperidone. Talking to my husband last night, I just wondered if because we have done so much and I have a bachelors degree in child psychology and have used much of what I learned have kept our son looking somewhat less like a problem to psychologists/psychiatrists. Yet, the schools have been concerned since preschool regarding his social issues and lack of remorse. When I tell professionals of my family history of bipolar they just brush it off. Anyway, I just appreciate you allowing me to vent and I especially thank the feedback on Risperidone and Straterra. I was beginning to question myself as an educated adult who has read these side effects and seen them! [/QUOTE]
