peglem Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 Clozapam? That's a benzo, right? Hope its wonderful for him! Are you going off the risperdal cold turkey or tapering down? I know he's on a fairly low dose, but I know Allie really crashed when we withdrew her last bit...but once she got over it, was much, much better!
Joan Pandas Mom Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 My son takes Clonazepam. Is this the same as Clozapam? He is 15 1/2. It helps a little with anxiety. He takes 1 mg at night when he is feeling really anxious. He was taking 1/2 in the AM when he first went back to school after being out for 2 months. it made him a little tired in the AM though. The first time he took it he said, "I'm sooooo relaxed!" Later that night he said, "I'm afraid I won't do my rituals right!" It makes him a little sleepy too. Risperdal didn't do anything for my son either. Good luck with the IVIG. Keep us posted. Clozapam? That's a benzo, right? Hope its wonderful for him!

mom md Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 We ended up getting Gammunex but our immunologist wanted us to get Gammuguard (the hospital substituted it without asking and she was not happy). She felt the viscocity of the Gammuguard was better and it's IgA levels were less. She actually preferred it over Gammunex.
