[QUOTE="mom22, post: 711335, member: 21653"] I am definitely leery of jumping to any new diagnosis and even more leery of going the route of medications. After our horrific weekend back on Abilify to help with the symptoms of Tardive Dyskenesia, the Dr. had us switch to very low dose rispersone on Monday evening. He continues with 15 mg daytrana patch. Tuesday my son spent his day on an "alternate schedule" part of his behavioral intervention plan for when he can't function in the classroom (he was making constant noises, speaking in disjointed sentences, repeating statements over and over again, throwing things....). He was improving by the afternoon. The most interesting thing is a sample of his writing done in the AM and then another piece of writing done in the mid afternoon. Looking at the two pieces of writing you would never guess they were done by the same child they are so different in neatness, coherency, length. At 5:00 Tuesday, when I picked him up from afterschool program I thought wow "he is almost normal again". By 6:15 he was rocking and some speech issues. By 7 he was making odd gross motor movements and thrusting out his tongue and giggling as he said in baby voice that he just liked chewing it. By 8 he was speaking full baby talk "me want toy"., and could not be redirected at all - acting on every single impulse he had... Today he was somewhat off in the morning but less so and tonight the "symptoms" didn't start until 6:30 and were 70% less pronounced than yesterday. Hoping we are on the road to full improvement and then eventually discontinuing the Risperdone at a safer pace. The Dr. has added behavioral disinhibition to our list. So - yes, I am leery :) [/QUOTE]
