Hi!

Yes, my 6 yr old son has to "tweek" his dosage whenever he has growth spirts. He's pretty tall for his age so I've noticed that he has to increase dosages usually around every 2-4 months.

I hear you about the swear words. I hate going in public sometimes and he's come home from school with more nasty words. That's something that every kid goes through but for our kids, it's magnified for some reason.

Risperdal for my son has been the wonder drug for violence tho! One thing I've noticed too is that I forgot his morning dose yesterday and the summer school teacher noticed that he was flying all over the room but no violence. So I guess he's become more dependent on the drug itself to help his brain.
