Autism survivor and brain researcher, Jean Genet, feels that psychotropic drugs like, Risperdal, the stimulant drug used to combat ADHD can produce, over time, negative responses. 

Psychotropic drugs use the energy of the central nervous system to fuel their responses. The amount of time it takes to use up this vital energy is different with each child. Common sense would dictate that the more active the child is the quicker the energy is consumed. 

Aggressive behavior in boys as it relates to females is a sign that the psychotropic drug is close to exhausting the energy of the central nervous system. Inability to go to sleep or maintain sleep can be a negative sign. Lack of appetite is another sign of energy lost. Some teenagers on 
antidepression psychotropic drugs can become suicidal if there is too much energy loss.

The common response when these symptoms begin to appear is to increase the dosage only to find out that the symptoms become worse.

Genet feels that it is important to monitor the child's response to these drugs and consult with your practitioner on ways to reduce the intake of the drug over time.

Genet believes that a gluten, casein free diet is essential in neutralizing the affect of psychotropic drugs. The removal of corn and soy from the diet is a must. 

Elisa testing for allergies is important to determine what foods the child is having a negative response to and then to eliminate said foods from the child's diet is necessary.

Treating for yeast reduces hyperactivity and temper tantrums. Addressing bacterial viral issues will stop aggressive behaviors.

The use of melatonin in time released form helps to bring about sleep and maintain a healthy sleep cycle.

Non evasive chelation therapy can assist in removing the toxins created by the psychotropic drugs. 

Rewarding good behavior and responding with a, "NO," to bad behavior can establish the necessary boundaries. A book 1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for children 2-12 by Thomas W. Phelan, Phd can be purchased at Amazon.com outlines this most affective process.
