yes my children are adhd, add, odd, and my oldest is borderline bi polar......my middle child was put on risperdal almost 4 yrs ago.....she was 4 when they put her on it...has not had much improvement.......they not schizophrenic...i have been questioning our dr for @ 3.5 yrs. over the whole risperdal thing. we live in a very small community there not alot of choices on drs. out here unless we want to drive several hours......i just don't know what to do????? will it effect them in a bad way if i just stop giving it to them...or should i wean them off????

yes my oldest is diagnosed borline bi-polar.......how do i get our dr to really hear my side of things??????? my children are not overweight yet but i'm afraid if i keep them on the risperdal it may lead to it.....

in reply to your reply.....my kids do'nt take it as a sleep aid nor do they have extreme anxiety.......i feel horible because i have given it to them all this time without doing any research and just trusting blindly and thinking that it was just the way things were supposed to be......i feel stupid....

Don't feel stupid for trusting the doctors, that's what we're raised to do is trust the establishment. You're questioning and researching now and that's what's important. It's clear you love your kids, you're acting like a good and responsible mother.

Keep it up.
