> Hi, I am in need of help! My son is 12 years old. We have tried Ritalin and Strattera nothing works. He can't go outside alone. He gets in trouble anywhere there are other kids. I have heard about Respirital like any drug I have heard good things and bad things. I do not want to hurt my son with the side effects of this drug, but at this point he is going to be in jail before he is in highschool. I do not know what to do or where to go. Nobody has any answers or help. I am cared for my son's future. Please help!


Risperdal is a powerful anti-psychotic drug that might be expected to have some tranquilizing and calming effects. I've tried it and found it rather zombifying, but I would expect a person who is psychotic or perhaps has violent tendencies to have a greater ability to tolerate it. Risperdal can cause significant EPSEs (extrapyramidal side effects) at higher dosages, so it is wise to not dose it at levels that are much higher than what is actually needed. It is widely used for schizophrenia and has some other utility as well.
