[quote=Anonymous]My DS was on risperidone for a couple of weeks - it reduced the frequency and intensity of his tics, but it made him very sleepy. We switched over to aripiprazole and it had the same effect on his tics but didn't make him as sleepy, so that's the medication he ended up staying on. It still caused him to sleep more than usual (sleeping maybe 9-10 hours a night instead of 8), but not as much as the risperidone, which made him fall asleep during the day.[/quote]
