" i had trouble posting earlier on. I tried to contact you tom about it because i

was afraid it was either a) an error from the forum or something i said. But

surely if it was the latter you would have said so, anyways enough of that. "

Yahoo has lost a few of my posts this last week, so it might have lost yours

too.

I am busy both on and off the web. So I may not respond to your posts. Hope all

is well with you Greg.

For your posts and help. Right now, since I have no support professionally I am

upping his risperdal to .25 twice a day instead of just one a day ( per doc's

orders). I was worried about over medicating, wrong med maybe for this and

drowsiness in the AM and wanted to personally talk to someone first but that is

not an option I guess, but at this point I don't care. I did talk to a very

helpful pharmacist today ( I have found they can be a treasure of info-better

than some nurses). So we will see how the day goes.

Thanks to all of you-truly-there are times I just feel so alone:)

Hi ,

Glad you have found a helpful pharmacist, I have also relied on their expertise

many times, and found if you can catch them at a good time, early morning or

later evening, they are very happy to discuss the meds, and side effects and

options.

You might try posting a question to Dr. Geller here on this site. Like Bonnie I

wonder about the influence of medications on behavior. Ours started with

behavior stuff as we increased the sri. I know the risperidol is supposed to

help counter this, but it may be that the sri is still too high, or the

interaction between the two a problem.

If you can be as clear as you can about the onset of behaviors before and after

meds, and changes med to med. And what you have observed that is " fixed " , or

doesn't change no matter what. So that you can try and break down the parts of

it all, as well as the big picture. Not sure how clear that sounds, but I think

you know what I mean. In the end if you can come up with a really specific

question to Dr Geller, I think you will get a better reply, is what I am trying

to say.

I just read about how calming cal/mag can be. They were calling calcium a

natural tranquilizer, the magnesium is good for anxiety, and you want to take

both together. Ours takes it at night, and I'm adding it to the morning. I

take it too, along with B6(energizing and calming).

Hang in there !
