Guest guest Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi... I have become very worried about my daughter who is only 11 being treated with Risperidal (Risperidone) for her OCD symptoms. She has improved greatly, however, this medication has so many risky side effects. In particular I am very concerned about the possibility of tardive dyskinesa. Has anyone else ever used this medication for their OCD treatment??? Has anyone found a better substitute??? (She is also using Triliptal - a mood stabilizer and is at the max dosage for her age/weight and is on Clonodine to help with her sleep problems. Please offer your advice/experience for this medication... I want to trust the doctor, but have had some REALLY bad experiences throughout life with doctor's mistakes. THANKS! p.s. would a medical doctor (pediatrician) be able to offer a second opinion if I wanted to seek one or do I need another psychiatrist?
