[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 239062, member: 1024"] I'm glad you didn't post this on the general forum, because you might have gotten some very angry responses. I for one, tried for several years to get my daughter under control without the use of medications. It was a very hard decsion and a painful one, but once my daughter began getting more and more violent, she became a danger to herself, my son and me. Putting her on medications was a very scary decision. In the end, it took several different medications to find the right one and it just happened to be Risperdal. I would caution you that there are a lot of parents here with foster children or adopted children after fostering the child. I don't think they would be pleased reading that you believe they are on medications simply because they are guinea pigs or to keep them placed in a home. I'm sure that there are cases of abuse, where this is true, but the parents on this board are generally struggling to keep their lives together and hold onto a tiny morsel that someday their child or foster child will be able to function as close to normally as possible. Sometimes it takes medicine and sometimes medications are the wrong choice. This is a support board, not a judgemental one. Please keep that in mind Bigmama3 [/QUOTE]
