She was had been previously diagnosed with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorder and was receiving short-acting methylphenidate and risperidone, as recommended by a child psychiatrist. However, after using the drugs, she stated that she was overly tired during the day and that her eyelids drooped. Hence, the current treatment was stopped. She was hospitalized with a prediagnosis of ocular type MG and pyridostigmine (90 mg/day) treatment was started. The patient recovered and subsequently the treatment was stopped. Since psychiatric symptoms of the patient resurfaced, long-acting methylphenidate treatment was initiated. During this treatment, the symptoms of MG did not return. The Naranjo's scale of adverse drug reaction probability was completed. Consequently, there may be an association between risperidone and MG.
