Risperdal and moods

I have been on Risperdal for 2 1/2 Years.
It helps with moods.
It makes me sleepy in the afternoon.
I grind my teeth.
I have panic attacks,whah klonopon helps.
I feel like i am constantly vibrating.

My son is 14yrs. old and has been taking risperdal for almost a year now. It has been a miracle drug for us. He was about to be kicked out of school. His doctor put him on risperdal for anger control and it has made a world of difference in school and home for him. He has no weight gain , no side effects at all except that he can control his moods better.

Well, actually, risperdal was just prescribed to my daughter who is eight and a half years old. I gave her the first dose this evening, and after reading these posts, I have to say I am scared.....can anyone tell me what to do? Can I refuse to let my daughter take this medication? or will it make me out to be a parent who does not want to help her child by refusing the meds? Please help...thank you
