I can so relate to what you are going through. Risperdal can help...my son was in that boat too. Have you tried Focalin? That has worked for my son. He was on Risperdal, Geodon and Zyprexa at different times to try to keep him out of deep you know what. Eventually he will start to mature and that does help but I don't know how to help you stop worrying. Mine is 18 and I still haven't. Hang in there. At 12, he's old enough to tell you if there are imminent, dangerous side effects for him and you will be able to gauge also by observing him. Meds aren't an answer but when you are that worried about keeping him safe and not ruining his life, it is worth a shot. Take it from a mom who's been there.
