She took
Risperdal for just over two years and went off of it
in early March, 2009 (due to sedating side effects). She has taken 25 mg daily of Strattera for a year and a half, and still takes it. Since she went off the Risperdal, her weight has dropped steadily (from 54 lbs to 51 lbs). Her "stimming" consists of running in short little bursts, so she's constantly expending energy. Incidentally, despite all of her movement, she has very low muscle tone.
