Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 At some point in my son's life he took risperdal and no side effect. However, another medication known to produce ticks was prescribed and the doctor was very specific that he had to take benadryl at the same time to reduce the risks. He never got them. I did only give him half of the suggested benadryl dosage, because if he took full amount he would get too hyper. Please check with your doctor if benadryl would help. Good luck Yesmin Please note that my principal my email address is ymvaldivieso@....Thank you,YesminPlanning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My son took risperdal and we just had to stop given it to him because a side effect, he develop tardive diskinesia (very bad tics on his face) and now we are trying anything and the tics are not changing, he has it all the time. He has major behavior issues and without the risperdal gets very hiper too. We see Dr. Torocsik at the DM and I understand you are looking for someone outside the DM but also we take him to Dr. Hoffman and he is great helping him in trying to control his behavior and great with in teaching us how to deal with the behaviors.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 My son goes to the Neurologist at Dan Marino Center and I called to get a second opinion with another neurologist and the nurse said they all work together and if I choose another Dr in the same office, the second Dr will give the same medication that the previous gave him.. huh?? So she’s telling me that all 6 Dr’s that are working in the same Hospital with different levels of Autism will give the same medication to every one? Does that makes sense?
