Wow! There's a few drawbacks, but I really think 2mg risperdal is working.  It has been a crazy month: sick, monthly bill, sick, and an extra kid for two weeks.  I haven't had a normal scheduled day in over five weeks.  And some poor foolhardy parent asked me to watch over her teen while she left the state to bury a family... Read moreChevron
