The experiment seems to be working! Kaylia has been on the split dose of Risperdal for a week now .... her appetite is down and stimming has not increased. She seems a bit more 'spacey ' but otherwise she is better. Anxiety seems to be down too .... perhaps the two medications were actually increasing the anxiety .... Now that they are being taken 12 hours apart, they're working more effectively.
This evening she has been asking for singing session with the guitar! She hasn't done that for about a year or more. She has been searching through her drawers of old therapy materials and found the little prompt cards with the names of the songs ... so she got out the guitar and collected us to have a session. It was good.
