<<We did go to the list picnic and Liam behaved okay, but he was so contrary

about everything - anything Margaret and her family did to make him

comfortable (which

was a lot!) he whined and told them what he didn't like about it

( " where's the remote? " " I don't want that movie " , etc....!!!!!)

They were very patient, but it was a pain to try to help him settle

in. Sounds like a minor thing (and compared to where he was 6-12

months ago, it is), but you feel like you are always one step from a

meltdown that might send you home.>>

Hi, Everyone........See............. I think you felt worse about

his behavior than I did. I was fine with all the kids....guess it comes from

years of experience with Gareth and my DH always telling me " to relax and not

worry about what others think. " I looked at the young ones at the picnic and

thought " man........I was that Mom years ago!!! "

<<We had him on Reg Focalin 5mg(3xday) and Risperdal 1mg(morning) and 3mg at

night. Within 9-10 starting this, he started having balance issues, and

seizure like activity.>>

......the first thing that caught my eye was the dosage of Risperdal

for your 8 y/O!!! I can understand 1 mg in the am but 3 mg at night?!?!?

Whenever Gareth gets too much of a med in his system, the behaviors get worse.

Too much Risperdal will cause balance issues and seizures. Hopefully, you

will find someone with some answers for you. Take care,

Everyone.
