[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 23351, member: 2322"] Totoro I was trying to think if I had any hot tips for coping with all the "drama" of it all. It is so, so exhausting, and all the more so because of your daughter's young age. No no hot tips, just try not to react to it all. I'm still looking for the hot tips! I guess you have heard a million times now that you need to take whatever small breaks you can. Easier said than done with two small ones that need constant supervision. I hope you find something that works quick. We took a few years to get my son the right medication combo, and still haven't yet for my youngest. Sometimes I think I just can't go on with all the yelling, crying etc. But we do. It does take a toll. Do whatever it takes to get a break, and try to keep some adult type outlet (hobby, sport, whatever). I think you have a legitimate question in how long until you see some benefit. I would think that since you are probably close to the therapeutic dose, that you should see some positive benefit pretty soon. Perhaps not the full benefit, but something to indicate that it is worth continuing. Sounds like you did with Risperdal. Let us know what the new psychiatrist thinks. Hugs from further to the west of you... [/QUOTE]
