[QUOTE="Shari, post: 342072, member: 1848"] Wee took Risperdal 3 times. The first time, they started him on the lowest dose available. I think it was .025mg? Not sure, but lowest available. Gave him the tablet and didn't do a dang thing to him but make him a wild and crazy maniac (normal) but drunken (not normal - now we had a 3 year old that routinely leaped off the counter tops who was too drunk to walk, much less leap from the counters successfully). The second time, we cut the pill in half. Still drunk, just not as bad. Third time, I agreed to give it to him to humor the doctor...I saw no point in trying it a third time, but low and behold, 30 minutes after giving it to him, it was the wonder drug - for the first time in my son's life, we sat down and played on the floor with toys and crayons. He was 3.5. Unfortunately, the great effects didn't last long before his his tolerance grew and the amazing effects went away. We took him off of it for a month, and then put him back on it, and while it still helps, those amazing results have never been repeated. [/QUOTE]
