Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I just read the posts and you all are wonderful parents. My son (9 yrs OCD) is on 10 mg. of prozac and .5 of risperdal. Has been for two years. The risperdal went up to .5 from .25 when at age 8 he had incredable anger. I noticed he was becoming angry when he needed to cry and would get mad instead. School at the time was awful and he felt he needed more medicine. I'd like to take him back to .25 risperdal since his teacher says he is having a hard time staying on task. I used to be worried about the foods he would and would not eat so I kept a log on the fridge and sure enough he actualy eats about 20 foods. The only way he will eat fruit is to put it in smoothies. The only way to eat green is to puree broccoli and put it in pancakes. He is doing much better with life since he started the meds and the other day he said " I used not have a life and now I'm happy " ~ refering to the medication. We are moving to Maui this summer and I thought that we would not be able to move because of the unstable child in the home. But he is excited. He still has some symptoms and I still worry but life is continuing. Reading the posts today I realized how far we had come and had to say it will get better and your all doing a great job.
