[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 590239, member: 11791"] He's only been on it since FRIDAY? as in... 4 days? If it were Risperidone and just starting, I'd suggest... skip the morning dose for a few days (essentially go to half-dose of what he's on), for a couple of days before dropping it completely. I'd be wary of just stopping totally cold turkey. I'd also be switching psychiatrists. She doesn't take even the MRMH lady seriously? Thinks "more" will solve a serious reaction? Really? We have a good psychiatrist... one who would give you the "we need to give this time" kind of response [I]if you were not seeing much impact, or if it was less-serious side-effects that are known to go down with time ([/I]dry mouth, or light-headedness, for example). NOT for a major medication reaction - or even for totally new unacceptable behavior, medication related or not. Kid with problems, + new medication = major meltdowns... means... medication not good for kid, or something new is going on. Either way, it needs to be taken seriously by the psychiatrist. But, I'm not a psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
