Risperadal...I'd like to know how anyone is doing on this medication and how you feel about it? My son started it a week ago, hes 19 yrs. old. He seems to be doing much better with just 1 1/2 mg. per day.
I helped him join the A.D.D group as he has a bit of learning problems. However, he hasn't used it yet and may not. So I'm asking ? Also, a psychiatrist wants to give him Concerta 75 mg. per day. Does that sound like a high dose? Thanks Kim Posted on 05/26/08, 10:05 am |

I thought the max dosage for Concerta went to 72 mg. But the dosage is measured according to his heigh and weight. Being 19 and seemingly tall in your pictures, the dosage seems appropriate. I'm 5'3, barely 120lbs and on 54mg.
