Risperlet
UpdatedMy son of 6 was diagnosed with ADHD, in the past month - the specialist put him on Concerta and Risperlet 0.5 1/2 a day. I'm worried about this because the research that I have done shows that it is a very potent antipsychotic medication but he does not have any depression or mental disorder.

You are correct, it contains the active ingredient Risperidone, which is a potent antipsychotic.

It also causes a lot of sedation, so it's really going to negate the effects of the Concerta.

Did you try asking the doctor why he put him on it?
My grandson has been using risperdal but now drinking risperlet as we cannot find risperdal quicklets anymore. He is on 1mg twice a day. Is there a difference and how long will it take to work? He is a bit irritable and moody.
I need to know if Risperlet is the proper medication for my 10 year old grandson with separation anxiety please? I'm also worried that this may be addictive? Can you recommend better meds?
