In previous posts I have talked in detail about the decision to try medication for my son. I first wrote about our experience with Risperdal, and then followed up with how my son’s doctor added Celexa to the Risperdal. This medication combination has been extremely effective for my son. His attention span has increased, he is far less impulsive, and his aggressive outbursts are no more. The best change I have seen so far is that he appears happy and is able to enjoy his day.
