    thanks for the reply Elanor. sorry its taken so long. things have been rather hectic with Tom on part time hours at school and his draft statement coming through. he has been much happier and calmer being part time. maybe thats the answer. but thank you for your input. i called his doctor but of course they have not come back to me yet.

    Risperdol

    Hi Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the calming effects of Risperdol to leave the system once you stop taking it. My son was prescribed it early last year and I think it helped. His doctor wanted to take him off it for a while to see if it made any difference. We stopped it in the middle of December. He didn't seem any different so we never re-started it. He was having just as much trouble at school but no more or less than before Christmas. Until last Thursday when he was violent towards a girl in his class (for which he was excluded for two days) and then again today when he punched a boy in his class (different lesson) (for which he has been excluded for 1 day). I was wondering if the effects of the Risperdol could have lasted for a month after he stopped taking it. So whether it would be a good idea to put him back on it. He is 12 and was taking 0.5g per day. Any help much appreciated as he is getting to the point where he will be spending more time out of school than in it. Ali x
