[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 410688, member: 393"] There is no one medication for Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). It's more an emotional disorder. With my tweedles we knew that we had Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) on board from day one. How to "treat" it was another story. We found that we had to slow kt & wm down to a point where they could handle therapy & treatment. wm has been in risperdal & clonodine for years. kt has been on seroquel. ktbug developed quite early due to, in part, medications but also the fact that she was sexualized so very young. Children who have a hx of sexual abuse tend to mature a great deal earlier than their peers. As both of the tweedles had been diagnosis'd with bipolar along with the severe Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) & complex PTSD some heavy duty medications were brought on board. Once their moods & behaviors were more "balanced" the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) & PTSD could be addressed. Saying that the medications that worked best for wm was risperdal; for kt it has been seroquel. Again, we dealt with the early onset of menses ~ there was no choice in the matter. As LDM stated, our kids react very individually to medications - it becomes a cr@p shoot of sorts. Please keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
