I give up.. what an awful day

August 30, 2010

My son, 7, who we were trying to withdraw from risperdal was SO agitated to day

I called the nurse and ended up giving him his 4pm dose again thinking he would

be better-HA! We went to a park party and he had the worst meltdown he has had

in months-or years. He became enraged because he wanted to answer a question and

win something (they ahd a local DJ giving away things) and he wasn't called on.

So we left right away-but all the way to the car he hit, kicked , tried to bite

me and even was going to attacka girl who was " looking " at him ( he was

screaming-what does he expect?)! All the while there are police everywhere and

everyoneis watching him attack me. I thought he was going to the hospital for

sure. He is now watchingn TV. I took away his priviledge of playing with his

friend for the day and he was in his room for awhile when we got home. I didn't

yesll or hit or react while he was doing all this yet he still did it. Is it too

soon for his second dose to take effect-it did help the agitation. I am so

desperate for answers. Cannot talk to the doc-only the nurse-and siince they

think I am the problem it is hard even getting help. Is it too soon for the

risperdal to be helping him again?
