[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 407791, member: 393"] Welcome amandaf! If you read all the information an any one of the medications that are prescribed nowadays you'd freak. Saying that, risperdal was the one medication the helped my difficult child wm slow down & settle enough to find a way to manage/control himself; his impulses. Like you, I freaked when I researched this medication however we had little choice as wm was abusive & destructive. Only when medication was on board & "slowed" wm down were we able to utilize therapy, consequences & anything else wm needed. Before that time his thinking was too distorted & he wasn't able to maintain behaviors for more than 10 minutes. A stimulant made things worse. Your little one will likely be thru many diagnosis's; many medications before all is said & done. All of our children react differently to these medications. Honey, this is cr@p shoot time. It will get better, I promise. [/QUOTE]
