Ok, so now the psychiatrists/psychologists are leaning towards bipolar disorder for my 4 y/o son. I thought he might be Asperger's but he doesn't fit that like he did when he was about 2.
We started risperdal 0.25mg QHS a few nights ago. He is really aggressive at times. Hurts others, himself, damages property...etc. I've tried all kinds of discipline, interventions, etc...and, I finally realized that he needs medication. That was an awful decision but if it makes his childhood better then it's worth it.
Any suggestions or info on risperdal in children? I've used it plenty of times on the elderly and mentally retarded but kids are different.
Doc told me to keep an eye out of tardive dyskinesia.
