Its interesting that Risperdal is used for autism irritability. It works for my sz irritability.

My niece isn’t on any AP’s thank God. Just the birth control and Venlafaxine. Even my dad doesn’t know why birth control so you go figure that one out on your own. :stuck_out_tongue:. I’m sure her dad knows why.

Might be to regulate her periods.

Just a hypothesis though!

Either way, hoping your niece is doing alright now :sunny:

I put my autistic daughter on birth control to guard against anyone taking advantage of her. And to help with bad periods. There’s a lot of reasons for birth control.

My daughter is also on zoloft.

Low dose antipsychotics like Risperdal are sometimes used.
Also antidepressants
