[QUOTE="Corrie, post: 587307, member: 16138"] Thanks for support. He has never tried to hurt my 9 year old, in fact he is somewhat protective of him. They do argue but nothing more than usual sibling arguements. His bio father does have anger issues. My current husband of 10 years has played more of the father figure( supporting him in hockey, etc). He is not on his full dose of Concerta yet, the psychiatrist is weaning him up to it to try to reduce side effects. We meet with her again early April. I have noticed a difference just since we started the current dose( 27mg which was up from 18mg at the start). So I'm hoping the next dose will last longer. The psychiatrist mentioned Risperidone if rages were not improving with concerta. I am a nurse and with my own knowledge and that of a physician friend, I am very hesitant to start him on that. He already feels he is "fat" due to his size and weight gain is a factor with risperidone. [/QUOTE]
