[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 407906, member: 1514"] He does sound like a handful. I have to chuckle at the moving out thing because I was famous for running away at very early ages. I know I started running away before first grade. Your little one sounds a lot like my middle granddaughter though a bit rougher. My 3 and a half year old granddaughter can be a holy terror too. Watch out if she doesnt get her way. I know in my gut something is brewing. My son tried risperdal once long ago but it didnt work well for him but he has been on cousins of it over the years and they have worked well. I know lots of other kids on this board who have taken that medication with great results. Honestly if you looked up the adverse reactions to aspirin or tylenol you would be scared to death to take them too. Working with these kids is more of an art than pure science. Nothing is ever black and white. As of right now there is no blood test that can be done to tell us exactly which medication will fix what but that is going to come down the line...probably in your sons lifetime. Maybe not mine, but his. That is such good news! Im hoping I live to see the day they can take my blood and say "oh, you need more xxx and you will be all better!" I know it really feels like you are in a blender right now with a wild child. I remember those days only too well. Now Im sitting here listening to that wild child in his bedroom at 24 years of age. They do grow up. [/QUOTE]
