#1196 Thursday 30 July

The hyper silly giggling seems to be back under control ..... the dose of Risperdal has been increased by 0.25ml per day.  It's amazing that such a minute change can make a difference like that.

..... and the media has started another beat up of how terrible it is that these drugs are being prescribed for young children!  No one ever writes about the other side of the story ..... about how wonderful it is that the drugs can allow our children to lead a much happier life .... that we can have a tool to control the debilitating anxiety attacks and the meltdowns. Yes it's a trade off where we have some undesirable side effects..... but I'll take the side effects over the original symptoms any day!
