Hello, my son is currently been off of risperidal (risperidone) ( 7 years old misdiagnosed since he was 3 and a half) for 5 weeks now and still detoxing pretty bad?

Ask your doctor for : The Risperdal should be out of his system by now. What do you mean detox? You should probably call his prescribing doctor or take him to the emergency room. If he has been on Risperdal since 3yrs old, he may be at risk for a movement disorder called tarditive dyskinesia.
