i need to add something to my difficult child's medications to help him at school. he is very combative with the teacher and refuses to do work, he's also very disruptive, loud and gets distracted. he is already on risperidone, 1mg @ bedtime. i was thinking of asking to just try adding 5mg to the morning if the doctor agrees. i am also looking for alternative suggestions to look into that are NOT stimulants(ie.ritalin) because difficult child has a heart problem so i need to be careful. i'd like to go into the psychiatrist appointment prepared with some ideas and see what she thinks from there as she says she 'doesn't know what to do for him.' so please share your experiences with whatever medications your difficult child takes that seem to work for them
