She told me that she prescribed Risperdol because she has seen nothing but success with it, and that it is also used to treat tics. I feel that Mike needs a break from these meds to see exactly what it is we are treating anymore. His behavior is so much more improved off of the Zyprexa, I can't believe it. I do have to tell him to do things several times, but he is not yelling at us, asking us incessantly for things we can not afford, he isn't beating up his brothers or trying to kill them over video games, he is more respectful, and kinder. I feel that we were using meds to treat meds in the past.
