Hi, I am new to the forum and have read loads of the post's on the site. Lot's of your posts ring so many bell's for me and what we as a family have been up against. Our son liam is 8 and has been on risperdal for a year now today was his cheak up at gt ormond street hospital i was very worried becouse we had to have liam get blood tests to test if the medication was having any unseen side affects we took the resalts in a sealed envelope to london to get some answers to my relief every thing is fine He has gained weight but has also grown a lot so it has balanced out nicely we are not having the sleepless nights any more we used to be lucky to get 2hrs in between getting up 3-4 times a night!!!!!! He has gained a big appertite but i just keep the fruit bowl topped up and don't buy any sweets and naughty bits and we go for long walks with the dog's he finds that calming. Does anyone have any information on the long term side affects of risperdal????? I have googled the medication but it is very vage about long term users. Everything has been good so far a big improvement in our little man and i hope it continues for his sake as he is so happy and been taking part in his new school as every child has the right to do.

<'> Hello my name is kelly i have two son's ryan 12 and liam 8. Liam is the reason for my joining as he is adhd high funtioning autism speach and langauge delay and oppositional conduct disorder quite a lot in one little package bless him. I like many of yourselfs have been finding thing's very hard at time's and is such a comfort to know i am no longer alone. Myself and my husband knew something was a little wrong when liam got to around 18months old and we have been fighting for him eversince with the health service the education department !!! that was the worst one!! we now have our little man in a special school and it was a long hard struggle but we got there in the end. Liam has been in school now for a year and the change in him is amazing he is still not Full Time but we are getting some were now. But most importantly liam is happy and is making friends!! and is enjoying being part of the school community and joining in with alll the shows and trips that take place i am so proud of how far he has come. And feel on other days i may be letting him down who is to know for sure what is best ???????? Liam is taking resperdal liquid as recommended by his dr at Gt Ormond street hospital and so far the resalts are good alittle gain in body mass but he needed to gain as he was stick thin from not eating due to ritalin!! So pretty calm at the moment just waiting for the next tidal wave . Thanks for taking the time to read my first posting' Kelly,
