[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 81062, member: 2423"] I have a different view. in my humble opinion, the fewer medications, the better. If your difficult child is now stable on Depakote (have his blood levels been checked consistently?), he may not need Risperdal. Furthermore, of the three medications your difficult child is on, Risperdal has the worst side-effect profile, and because it's relatively new and not tested on children, there is very little information on the long-term effects on pediatric neurodevelopment. I also believe that as children grow and mature, they may not need all the medications they once needed to function. This is all my long way of saying that in your shoes, I'd try to wean your difficult child off Risperdal. [/QUOTE]
