I have heard of it,but if I was you I would get your child off the risperdal, bad side effects,it has been known too cause tics,uncontrolled jerking,studdering, raise cholesterol,and depression.some cases diabetes.i took it for a while never had a seizure,started to have them,even though I'm off now I still have seizures,and some uncontrolled movements,Now the vyvanse is a good medicine,can't Insufflate it, have to take it or it will not even be active,has to pass through liver to turn it into Dexedrine. people on this site complain alot about it but I think most of them are addicts,and don't like it cause it can't be abused I wish you and your kid the best .im not a doctor but my dad is and he want use risperdal on any of his patients.so do more research and you will probably decide too take him/her off immediately.

It is rather common to have these types of medications prescribed together, especially since Vyvanse can cause insomnia, nervousness, and excitability as side effects, according to FDA reports.

As James has stated, there are some possible risks, but that is true of all medications. Is your doctor seeing your son regularly to monitor them for any problems that may arise?

Risperidone may cause other side effects, such as drowsiness, sedation, somnolence, and mood changes.
