[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 165696, member: 3419"] Nice to meet you, Kyanasmama. So sorry about your son. There are others here who have used Risperdal who can better advise you. We've only used Adderal, and it worked in less than 1/2 hr. It sounds like there's more going on here than just ADHD and ODD, especially the part about telling you he's going to hurt himself. That's not defiance, in my book. Speaking of books, almost everyone here loves The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I'd suggest getting it right away. I would also suggest keeping your difficult child occupied with-projects so he can't annoy the other kids. I have given my son the tiniest projects just to keep him moving and occupied--taking out the trash, giving the dog a hug, moving the newspapers to the recyclng bin, doing 10 jumping jacks--just a constant string of commands to keep him doing something nondestructive and useful. Who diagnosis'd him? A psychologist or psychiatrist? Also, could you type the info you put in your note, into a signature/profile so we can all read it to remind ourselves of the kids' ages, etc? Thanks. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
