Re: Risperidal,side effects?

[Guest guest]

I may be the mom you are thinking of talking about Risperdal

recently. Coby was put on it because of his severe behavior issues.

He has many autistic, PDD, OCD traits as well as hyperactivity.

Risperdal is an antipsychotic with many side effects. We tried

several other alternatives before starting it. I have to echo Jodie

by saying that for an appetite stimulant you should go with

Periactin. We were trying to handle Coby's other issues; it was just

a nice bonus that it effected his weight as well.

Coby does not have a feeding tube and I have always struggled to get

enough calories in him each day. If there is anything I can help

with, please let me know. You can e-mail me any time. Greyeyedcutie

@yahoo.com I have lots of ideas and tricks that I used with Coby.

Good Luck,
