[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 145970, member: 2423"] Like any atypical antipsychotic (AP), Risperdal can wear off over time so there's a chance he may need a higher dose. You should be aware, however, that if there is a mood disorder present, APs generally don't have staying power over the long haul. They are best used as an add-on to a mood stabilizer. I think it's strange that the psychiatrist will give him a diagnosis of ADHD-not otherwise specified without any ADHD symptoms. Is there any chance of a second opinion? [/QUOTE]
