Belly aches and risperdal weaning????
Mon, 10-29-2007 - 3:55pm

We are weaning Liam off his risperdal (combo of factors: weight gain and not sure it's working anyway). Today the school nurse called and said Liam had a belly ache; even his teacher said he semed off, wouldn't go out for recess (a HUGE red flag that he's not faking there). He said he didn't feel like throwing up; so to me it sounded more like a crampy type ache. I am wondering if (a) it's the risperdal and he is in mild withdrawel. Or (b) he is having anxiety cramps.

We are weaning Liam off over 6 weeks, and just started the 3rd week and he's now down to halg a mg insteadof the full 1 mg a day.

He hung out a home, we watched Meet the Robinsons,....I thought it was funny anyway:)

Thoughts???
