Anyone have experience going off Risperdal?

[Guest guest]

Another question. My 7 yr old son, OCD,PDD, sensory stuff and anxiety is on 50mg

Zolft, .50mg risperdal-.25am and .25 4pm and 3mg meletonin bedtime. The doc (

and his pediatrician agreed)thought he needed to come off the risperdal as he is

now almost 80 pounds (at 4ft 2 inches) and eats a ton and wets the bed (which is

getting worse) plus he is going to the bathroom alot. So yesterday I stopped the

4pm does and he only gets .25 inthe morning. Everything seems good till after

bath when he gets super hyper and tonight the rage was there (wanted to rip his

library books, couldn't focus ont he story, ended up hitting me before bed).

Everyone said I won't notice any effects of going off it for weks but it seems I

am but no one, not even his dad believes me. Has anyone gone through this? What

can they give him as a replacement? The doc was going to go with Intuiv but I

just don't know-they do different things. I hate being the one making these huge

decisions.
