Too Strong Medication

Hi, my son is 12 years old and was diagnose with ADHD, He started to take this medication from the 18 July 2016 to date and his taking Risperlet 0.5mg and concerta 36 in the morning and 1mg at night together with the Epilizine, since Tuesday afternoon his been complaining about feeling hot and not feeling very well, this morning on Thursday he had a blackout sitting in the cough with thick salaiva out of his mouth that was very scary, he just dozed-off and I tried to wake him up, called his doctor immediately and he told me to stop the medication, Not sure what is the cause is the medication to strong for him or the doctor can't find the right dose for him? Your response is much appreciated.

Hello, Wendy! How is your son doing?

Has his doctor actually seen him, yet, to evaluate him? It sounds like he might have experienced a type of seizure, which could require neurological evaluation and treatment. It is something that should definitely be checked by a doctor, to be sure.

Has he ever done this before?

Another possibility is that the Risperlet is too much for him. It's a very potent antipsychotic and has been known to cause sedation and cause severe drowsiness at very low doses, according to the U.S. FDA. How long has he been taking it?

Hi, My son is hanging in there without medication I had to stop all his medication and I sms the doctor to find out a way forward and he hasn't responded to my sms, and this morning my son asked me when is going to start to start taking hi medication again cause his falling asleep in the car, the minutes he sits and does nothing he sleeps, I am very worried. haven't heard any complaints from the school as he is not taking the concerta either. last year he did have this seizures and the very same doctor admitted him to the hospital but he was treated by a different doctor and they did do the brain scans and all that, and everything was normal. I then changed the doctor meaning the physiatrist, I have had my fair share with the doctors I don't know where to find a GOOD Psychiatrist in Johannesburg.
