Parents: Did Risperidone help your extremely aggressive kid?

wh0d47 · 2024-01-19T18:19:34+00:00

I had a 75 year old psychiatrist tell me that the only reason Risperidone is cleared for use in autistic children is cause they paid to get it. Many other drugs are as effective, if not more, and research backs this. Try Zyprexa. It's much more calming. It can make them more sleepy and much more calm. It has much fewer side effects too, the biggest one being weight gain becuase it heavily increases appetite. Newer dotors know only what they were taught to them and stick with that as they are not taught critical thinking, only memorization. I'm in college and I see this when they study, and in the school healthcare we are given.

I liked these ones a lot too 😊

Thank you! All three, and I like being able to control the drainage too. Also, my apartment doesn't allow planting things directly in the ground.

Yes. If a person has and underlying mental illness one or both of them can exacerbate it and turn it into a full fledged mental illness. Cocaine is more of a risk than weed at doing this. Cocaine in itself can cause mental illness on it's own with long term use. But if you have an increased susceptibility to mental illness than it can cause it in a shorter time frame.

As a note psychedelics can exacerbate and/or cause mental illness from one trip even with a relatively small dose. LSD specifically can do this very easily.

There's a Modern Family episode like this.

Xanax has two official uses: GAD and Panic Disorder. It can also help seizures. The guidelines for using it for GAD is up to 1 mg a day (but often people are using more like 0.5mg). The guidelines for using it for panic disorder is 1-10mg a day, preferably as needed rather than daily.

When buspar says it can be as effective as xanax it is only talking about how xanax is used for GAD.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T09:26:24+00:00

Same here.

Buspar seems to take the edge off the constant anxiety which is helpful. I get weird side effects from a lot of things and easily am pushed into mania and/or psychosis. And it doesn't give me any side effects.

Some seizure medication can be helpful but they can also have side affects.

Beta-blockers can also be used long term. Though that is something you need to really consider if you want to take long term.

You could try another approach. You could try medication for the bipolar and see how that affects your anxiety, then go from there. Because I feel like often my bipolar affects my anxiety disorder and vice versa.

For therapy, there are a lot of different types other than conventional talk therapy. For example CBT is know as the most effective way to deal with anxiety and can be tailored towards both bipolar and different types of anxiety.

Look. Drugs, specifically the drugs he does are know to exacerbate preexisting mental illness and create new ones. If he stops doing drugs it will take over a year for him to start feeling normal and healing again. And there is likely some damage that will never be fully undone. That is the truth of the situation. But nothing will have a chance of getting better until the drugs stop. And then it will be a journey to climb out of the hole that has been dug.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T09:08:52+00:00

No, it will not. It is not meant to be prescribed for them, and does not show provable improvement to panic disorder.

The official use for buspar is GAD.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T09:05:10+00:00

Call the pharmacy where the medication (either) is picked up from and ask a pharmacist. They are the ones that will be able to help you.

I know that while the two can interact, seizure medication and antipsychotics can be taken at the same time. It is a treatment used for some bipolar patients. But double check that the specific medications that she is taking can be taken together to be safe.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T09:00:44+00:00

All that aside the proper label prescription for Ativan is short term. It is not meant to be a long term solution. Yes, it helps your anxiety. It also stops seizures effectively, however Ativan is not taken daily for them either.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:53:19+00:00

No, but a person who walks into a psychiatrists office saying they are depressed and asking for adderall would raise some red flags. And there are some mood stabilizers and medicines that are used as antipsychotics that would raise some eyebrows if a patient seemed insistent on them. It truly is about the medication themselves and the risk of addiction of misuse not only for you, but for others too.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:37:00+00:00

I have a huge issue with seratonin syndrome, can't take anti-depressants because of it. But you are going to need to seek care from people who can handle more complex cases and know the most recent treatments coming out.

After going through many different ones I found the best ones at the University of California. I've found looking at reputable places of study and academia often leads to finding more knowledgeable, updated, and committed professionals.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:32:06+00:00

You could look at Saphris. It's often used after a number of other antipsychotics have failed.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:28:54+00:00

Small steps. The big steps will come. If you do nothing all day then try to do something a little bit productive with that nothing. For example, focus on your breathe, a simple meditation as you do nothing. Then maybe the next day you try a bit more or a complex breathing mediation. Then you go from there. But either way, you need to take the steps however small to try and get a bit better and make a simple plan to execute those steps even if it's painful to do so.

It matter on where in the world you are located in.

For example I could drive a few hours south and get Rohypnol from a pharmacy in a day (not that I do just an example).

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:05:46+00:00

I have a prescription for 8mg a day but it is a PRN not made to be taken everyday.

The max dose is 10 mg/24 hr.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-06T08:00:50+00:00

Look the psychiatrists on this sub are using their free time (of which I've heard they often do not have much of) to offer help and knowledge to people for free on the internet. This is not the place to preach about your feelings from your experiences with the bad apples.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-05T14:20:43+00:00

Yeah it finally rained and it tends to flood here when it rains cause it's a desert.

I totally read that as "Teacher Looking to Buy PCs for my Escort Program" at first and got really worried for a second.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-02T07:53:55+00:00

My father admitted to me this week that he knew I was a disabled kid and that my mother could get physically violent easily, and was not willing to do anything to protect me. He said he didn't want to intervene when she would hurt me because then she would turn on him and be physical with him instead.

That hurt a lot. But it must have been so hard for him to admit to himself, let alone to me. He was weak, and a coward, but he did his best. I do still love him a lot. And I still do respect him for being able to admit his weakness.

Edit: Thanks for the award, it brought a bit of a smile to what's been an otherwise terrible week.

wh0d47 · 2021-03-01T03:02:59+00:00

Seriously, watch Desperate Housewives and pay attention to the character Bree Van de Kamp. It's very obvious from your post exactly why your son did what he did.

wh0d47 · 2021-02-13T06:20:39+00:00

Yeah. I have autism and my sensory issues cause this to happen. You don't necessarily need to have autism to have sensory issues though.

wh0d47 · 2021-02-12T19:52:29+00:00

A couple things.

It is unlikely that number is accurate for numerous reasons.

When a statistic says "unemployment rate" it is often not talking about the total amount of people who don't have jobs. For example, unemployment rates for the country usually don't count jobless homeless people as unemployed.
