Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Okay, so I've posted that my DD (11) has taken a backslide in the last 2 mos. and we are upping her Prozac from 30 to 40 mgs. Meanwhile, her anxiety has been worse and she's been having difficulty functioning, going to school, with friends, etc. The pdoc called today and we are adding Risperdal to the mix for the short term to get her through school. I hate to try a new drug with all this going on, I don't want her to totally miss out on the end of 5th grade, but she's not functioning well anyway. So, what is everyone's experience with this drug? She's starting her on .25 which i guess is a low dose. I will give it to her at night--will she be able to go to school tomorrow? I know with the Zyprexa, she was out of it for a couple of days at first. Just wondering what to expect. Thx! Dina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
