[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 358242, member: 455"] For me, my thoughts are this... medications all have side effects and it was a tough call but like you we knew our difficult child was better on then off. My question, however to you is what was the violence level before Adderall? Have you seen a change with him on it? We've used Risperidal with success and unsuccess. Adderall, now that is one we've had horrible results with and that's why I ask. That one actually "caused" difficult children to get more violent. So if you are questioning yourself I wanted to just throw that out there for comparison. If your son's violence has stayed the same then I'd say that Risperidal may help. If you have seen an increase since the Adderall, then you might want to think about that as the cause and not treat it with another medication. I know I'm adding in something different, another perspective here. Just mho. [/QUOTE]
