[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 134525, member: 2287"] medication this and medication that....it's sooo exhausting. My difficult child has been on so many, poor thing. We had good results with Risperdal for his aggression. The most he took in a day was .5mg X 2. It put lots of weight on him because he could never get full...of course, it was all carbs that he craved. Our psychiatrist was very concerned that it would cause him to have tics, so we eventually weaned off it, but he was on it for about two years. I'd guess that it's the Risperdal that's causing the sleepiness. Clonidine can cause it, too. difficult child is only taking .05 mg of Clonidine at dinner. It helps with aggression, too and helps him sleep. My difficult child is 12 and 95 lbs. [/QUOTE]
