Has anyone experienced Risperdal causing auditory hallucinations? We go in to his doctor on Tuesday, but I swear my son is getting more mentally ill by the day. He started Risperdal about 2 weeks ago and I've noticed that he's hearing things lately. He's also on Concerta and fluoxetine.
The school just called and said that he thought another kid was talking about me and he started a fight with him. He felt bad when he found out the kid wasn't but I'm wondering if he was hearing something that wasn't there.

Risperdal is the only medication approved for kids...sm
our 7-year-old has been on this medication for 1-1/2 years and it has been our miracle drug with her. The mood swings are tons better and if she skips a dose we can definitely tell the difference. Some patients do experience weight gain with this or the other bipolar medications. You can get information about bipolar kids from the website bpkids.org. Good luck to you!
Sounds like hypnagognic hallucinations,I had them a lot. NM

Do sleep deprivation hallucinations count? - sm
Somewhere on Interstate 8 between Yuma and Tucson,about 3 a.m.
Driving along and all of the sudden I see what I think is a giant jack rabbit/moose walking on the side of the road on a leash held by a big crooked man.
heeheehee Don't know what the jackrabbit/moose thing was but the "man" was a cactus.
At that point it was decided that we had maxed out the benefit of the Java Monster Mochas and took a short snooze at the next rest stop.
Still have good laughs over that one tho.
Sounds like sleep paralysis (and possibly hypnagogic hallucinations) to me. sm
If it has only happened to you a few times in your life, it's probably nothing to worry about. It happens to some folks now and then.
It can, however, sometimes be a sign of other sleep problems (like chronic sleep deprivation, or even narcolepsy) and, if it persists, it would certainly be worth mentioning to your physician, who may decide to have a sleep study just to investigate further.
what is causing it?

Abuse causing this?
I had a son (I hear boys are worse than girls) who wet the bed until probably early teens. My aunt was a nurse, said NOT to belittle, get after, etc., etc. He definitely was NOT abused. Think children just do sometimes. I was told he would grow out of it and he did.

Would it still work if thyroid issue is causing it?
It seems like that might make it a different story, but I hope I am wrong.
I hope it (or something) helps you out. :)
the increased mucus could be causing him to throw up. but with the fever... ???
I would give it 2 days. if the fever persists he needs to be seen. could be a number of different things. there are many different types of flu's.. so its hard to say.
ditto.... early hearing loss here too causing ringing.
I'm not even THAT old!!
Smokers inflict cancer causing agents to people every day, but there are states that
public places anymore and I say, hurray, it's about time! The state of Arizona passed a law overwhelmingly to ban smoking in public places and now it's in effect. If you're caught smoking in a public place you'll either be told to put it out, leave, or be arrested.
Speaking of walking through smoke when going in or leaving a store, I know exactly what that poster means, the only thing is I had to bring my child into that store with me. Prior to the new law, I told the manager how awful that was for me and my child and they had the trashcan/ashtray units moved further away. Still, it amazed me that people would still stand right there at the door and puff away with no regard for anyone else. Well, now, they really have it, but good. It's ILLEGAL to smoke anywhere near a public location, ie grocery stores, malls, library, hospital, any other stores and they can't smoke outside the doors or even on the property itself.
Brother found out he had nerve transposition in his elbows causing wrist pain. Had elbows done &
