Since my son got on Risperdal he seem to be able to delay his reactions in different trying situations. He's not as violent anymore- PHEW! But when it comes to his bad language it is still very much there. The words pop up just like that. Seems like the med help selectivly inside of his brain. But better non- violent and cursing... than violent...
My question is: Does anyone else have experience of kids and Risperdal when it comes to the fact that we have to change the dosage very often as the med stop working? My son can be pretty ok for a few weeks up to 1 ½ month, then suddenly - without outside changes - he gets much worse again and we have to change the meds again.

My son is 9 and takes Risperdal. He started at 0.5 mg and is up to 1 mg. It is a wonderful drug for him. The aggression has definitely decreased, but the language has not.

Think I'll mention to PDoc next visit.

Take care,
Dee
