Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We haven't used it. Maybe someone can suggest some natural things to try first before resorting to meds. If they don't work then you could try prescription stuff. I'd read this article before deciding to use Risperdal. It works for a great number of kids but is not without serious risks and side effects. Not things that MAY happen but things that ARE KNOWN TO happen because of Risperdal, including permanent brain damage and death. I've also heard that weaning off Risperal can be a rough experience, and some parents have even said their kids were worse once they weaned off it then they were before using it. http://www.risperdalautism.com/risperdalautism/ Kerrie Just polling everyone who has tried Risperdal for their children with aggression because our son's doc is gently pushing us to put him on this.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks Kerrie. We have tried so many millions of natural things from diet, to hbot, to Krigsman scope, to bio meds, blah blah. NOTHING WORKS here. That's why we are getting desperate. I'll read the article. Risperdal is a total last resort for us, but we are getting closer and closer to that point. > > We haven't used it.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 My son was on risperdal for a number of years. It was very helpful in dealing with his irritablility. The downside was that he gained a great deal of weight. Nowadays he is on abilify which is supposed to cause less weight gain. He is on a very low daily dose and we give him a larger dose if he is having a meltdown. It works very well at helping to end the meltdown. These medications should not be given out lightly but they can be a lifesaver if you have a child who needs it and nothing else works. --------------- Ezorsezor@...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Try TCM first before Risperdal, seriously. I hope any mom here who has started TCM can give a testimony about how TCM improve our children into a calm status of mind. TCM and herb sciense mainly balance chemistry in our brain, and help liver to detoxify better.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 been there, done that on most things including meds. if you have tried most everything and still have major problems, meds can be the last resort depending upon how you feel about that. it is an individual decision. getting other parents' input is important. at the end of the day, you are the one that has to deal with your child. my son is a non responder to most stuff. after 8+ years of bio meds, had to go the meds route, reluctantly. that didnt work either! i have come to the conclusion that my son, who is chronically constip, with all the gi issues, is not able to properly absorb suppliments/meds. i imagine his stomach is a cesspool (sp?). currently concentrating on the gi issues. will do the scope thing. specifically, risperdal, didnt do much for my son. caused a tremendous increase in urination. risperdal, as with the other meds tried, appeared to work initially. that lasted about 2 mos. then, major aggression. had to stop. this is the case with the others too. even homeopathy didnt do much and after about 3 mos, aggression started up again. so, i'm still trying...however, i know how very difficult it is to put a child on meds. i have talked to many parents and some are very happy on meds and their lives have changed tremendously. they are able to go places and do things. they are not prisoners of their home. others are totally against it. meds can be dangerous, but, a very aggressive child is also dangerous. been there... do the research, and make an informed decision. but, dont beat yourself up if at the end of the day, your child becomes too severe to handle and you have to resort to meds, at least temporarily. i sincerely hope you find other options, but, do what you have to do in the end.... vicki Risperdal Just polling everyone who has tried Risperdal for their children with aggression because our son's doc is gently pushing us to put him on this.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We used Risperdal with our daughter for almost a year.The worst side effect was the fast weight gain. Currently there are several states suing the pharmaceutical companies who makes Risperdal,et.al. The case being children and seniors are being over prescribed these types of meds and no long term effects studies exist. I know of many parents who had a very hard time weaning their children from Risperdal. We were fortunate and slowly decreased our daughter's dosage with no ill effect.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 :-)Hi Rei Thanks for giving me Dr Peng Link of his web site. I Email him on Sunday but I haven't hear anything from him. I live in LA, I think it would be better if I call him directly. Does he do phone consul. Do you have his #. My son doesn't have a lot of aggressive behavior,but he is soooo hyper. React with lot of foods even thought we are on GFCF for the last 9 months. He almost nonverbal (repeat some words) I hope this will help him. I am so tired not to mention broke. Sorry I do not want to be negative here. There are many other like me here I am not the only one We are here to look for hope for our kids Thanks MerrySent via BlackBerry from T-MobileDate: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 15:44:52 -0800 (PST)To: <mb12 valtrex >Subject: Re: Risperdal Try TCM first before Risperdal, seriously.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi ,It's a hard choice. We tried it on but it didn't help him very much, sometimes he was worse. is a sweet kid but was VERY aggressive. After starting certain supplements and " brushing " from the OT (which is every hour and a half) it is almost gone. Our doc even tried Seroquel and others....UGH. His poor body. Did your doc give you any other options? Any " natural " choices? It's a hard choice and my heart breaks for you. Good luck with whatever you decision is.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 My daughter has been on Risperdal for 2+ years and Our Dr. suggested it as well.We were willing to try anything at the point we were at because, of the Anger towards us especially, she would bite her hand and slap her face and SCREAM if you did not do what she requested, and the tantrums, and OCD were unbelievable and if this medication was going to calm her we were willing to try, and it did help and she is not a big eater and when given Risperdal she would eat a great dinner but...since reading these posts after trying to go GFCF and Supplements.. We are going to try the Dr Peng Protocol and see if we can get her off of the Risperdal. She is on a very small dose but I would still like her to be Off of it. I have Hope and Believe the herbs are going to help, my husband and I dream of the day we can go out in public,or to Dinner and not have a fear that she will have a meltdown or tantrum.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Maribeth, Have you ever checked your child's testosterone level? High testosterone affects girls also. Violent behavior is a result of high testosterone. Suggest you at least check her testosterone level. Good luck.
