Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 <<Mikey is on 5 mg per day. 2 mg in the morning and 3 mg at bedtime.>> Hi, Everyone...WOW.....Gareth's (17 y/o) been on Risperdal for 7 yrs and is only up to 1 mg in the am and 1 mg in the pm. That high a dose for him would send him into la la land!!! As it is, on 1 mg. after supper, he's out by 8 pm. and sleeps till 6:30. Dianne....I know that if Gareth says he hurts, then he does, His pain level is sooooooooooo high that I don't question him saying he hurts. Listen to Greyson.....I wouldn't want Gareth in pain. Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is that Mikey takes awhile to process medications in his system. When he is not on the Focalin, he falls asleep very quickly at night (around 8:30PM). With the focalin it takes him awhile to calm down even after the risperdal. His last focalin dose of the day is at noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
