[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 382861"] I KNOW that each person/child is different. Let me say this right from the start. However, our daughter was on Risperdal for a relatively long period of time. It was a good medication for her. One of the best. However, over time it caused a really bad side effect. It caused her to have REALLY bad hormonal problems (as well as weight gain) and by and large, it had to be discontinued. We switched to Abilify and only gave her a small amount of Risperdal when she was having extreme anxiety...(once in awhile). Just something to think about...might not be a good idea to continue with- this medication for long periods of time....certainly something to ask the Dr. about. Natural products...we have not had a lot of luck. For a period of time, she took Fish Oil and this seem to help a little. There are studies that say this DOES help with Bipolar Illness. Exercise, plenty of fresh air, a healthy diet...these seems seem to help a little as well. Sending good thoughts. [/QUOTE]
