[QUOTE="mamabear01, post: 292514, member: 7387"] I have experience with two boys on Risperadol. They are not on it now. First Risperadol is the BOMB. I loved it. It was a night and day difference with my boys regarding the rages. All of a sudden the rages stopped and I could deal with the other stuff. So I put my boys on it with the advice of their Pys. Okay so child no 1 went on it, it was GREAT but gained 50 pounds. I would talk to this doctor about something else and he refused to change it. I finally left him and went to a neuro who put him on Topamax (Topamax has a mood stabilizer, but you don't gain weight. He also went on this due to his migraines.) So far so good for the mood and no more weight gain. It's been wonderful. Other son did the Risperadol and again, it was GREAT for his mood. He didn't gain any weight but I also noticed it fizzled out after 6 months. I had talked to other parents that said this can happen at times. This doctor (pys) wouldn't listen to me and wanted to add a 4th medication (Prozac, clonodine, Risperadol and Orap). I am not anti medication, but I won't do a cocktail when I don't think it's necessary. So I took him all all medications and went to his pediatrician about clonodine only. He won't sleep without it. So far all I see his problems are with anxiety only so I am thinking about going back to my other son's neuro for something else. I had a bad doctor, but if I had a good one I would try again for my younger son who didn't gain any weight. The thing is.... if you don't like it, or your child has horrible side affects with it you can take your child off. You will never know until you try. I might try again with my youngest, but have a doctor now that I trust to not put him on too much. Plus I was angry at the pys cuz he changed his prozac to zoloft to go on the Orap and after googling the food and drug administration I found out this was a deathly combo! Stupid doctor !!!! [/QUOTE]
