My son was in to see a psychiatrist yesterday and he believes Jake does not have ADD/ADHD but does have ODD and possibly BIPOLAR DISORDER. He prescribed RISPERIDONE for him and said it should take around 3 weeks to see any results. I have read up on the medication and it has been very successful in treating ODD and BIPOLAR disorder so I am hopeful this will help with Jake's very frequent and violent outbursts... I just want my son to be happy and do well in school behaviorally. Does anyone else have any experience with this medication and have any advice for me?
