[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 605211, member: 1550"] Our NP can prescribe and some are psychiatric NP. NPs are becoming more and more useful. HOWEVER...Risperdal was very dangerous for our son. Be careful. Also, be wary of ANY professional, psychiatrist included, who overmedicates. That can make things 100X worse. Too much medication is as bad or worse than too little or none. I know this first hand as I was overmedicated and it plain made me suicidal whereas I had not been before the overmedication. No psychiatric on earth could make me take an antipsychotic, but that's because I don't like the way they make me feel. Everyone is different. I was given Thorazine once to make sure I wasn't schizophrenic and it made me a zombie. My son behaved like a zombie on Risperdal...he slept, cried, had all sorts of aches and pains, and finally developed a movement disorder. So watch your kid. It may help, but it needs careful monitoring. [/QUOTE]
