[QUOTE="Steely, post: 495208, member: 3301"] Welcome Debann, What dose is your grandson starting? What are the behaviors that are causing the Dr to prescribe this to him? Risperdal is a class of medications called Anti-Psychotics although they are also used for calming people's racing thoughts, impulsiveness, and angry outbursts. The side effects are varied, however, for many of our kids they are really the only thing that help make their behavior manageable. Other APs are Abilify, Seroquel, Zyprexa, etc as you will see in many signatures here. Preferably doctors like to try medicines like mood stabilizers before moving to an AP -- has your grandson been on any of those? [/QUOTE]
