So the dr office called back. They want me to 1/2 the risperdal. And I can give him 1/2 a benadryl every 4-6 hours, although it might make him sleepy (so far NOTHING has made this kid sleepy at ALL) to help stop the movements. I most likely won't do the benadryl
AND I heard from most of his teachers... He is losing focus and his counselor at school said in the 5 minutes she observed him she counted 30 verbal sounds, did see the hitting of the hip with his fist, the agitation in his seat and she went on and on.
Dr office said we'll discuss other options at her appointment on Wed. But my OBVIOUS question would be...why did this take 4 mos to manifest???? and of course...is it even a side effect?
