[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 451679, member: 6705"] :hugs: I have 2 that are likely both Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), though only one has been diagnosis'd Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Anyway... O has horrible huge rages. J only cries when he's angry. In fact I've never seen him show anger in any way other than by crying. It would be easy (and wrong) to say that he never is angry. O has been diagnosis'd bipolar... So, knowing that both kids are about 99% likely Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE), I've seen two sides of the same coin. For O, risperidone worked really well - 0.25 mg in the AM, 0.25 after school and 0.5 at bed time - night and day. Till she started refusing to take it. J was diagnosis'd ADHD, by one visit to a psychiatrist at age 7, put on 18mg Concerta by his pediatrician at bio mom's request, when that didn't work it was 27mg, then 54mg... And he was a B.R.A.T. on the Concerta (plus crashed at night so he didn't wake, we had to finally remove the carpet in his room). We got residential, had new pediatrician wean him off - and not only is his behavior better, but his grades are, too. He needs interventions, not stimulants. Oh, yes. O on SSRIs was HORRIBLE. Just a thought on that. [/QUOTE]
