[QUOTE="amandab192, post: 221408, member: 6483"] My four-year old is on Risperidone (generic form of Risperdal). It's worked wonders for his aggression--gave him an extra two seconds to THINK about his actions before he attacked. He started on .12 mg before bed and slowly upped to .5 mg before bed and .12 mg in the morning. This is still a pretty low dose. Typically, children do not go above 1-2 mg. Side effects have been minimal. Nothing more than increased hunger, which is manageable with healthy snacks, and frequent urination. We tested for diabetes, just to be sure, and he's fine. I'm actually very pleased. We spent the last two years doing a DAN/biomedical approach and my son actually had more serious side effects from some of the supplements he took than he has from this antipsychotic (not to knock biomed, because we still do some of it and it does help!). It seems to be the first-line medication for most children with aggression issues. Amanda [/QUOTE]
