[QUOTE="Shari, post: 55023, member: 1848"] I'm not here as much as I was, but I also have a 5 year old. He's been on medications for 18months or so now, and it was not a decision made lightly. I was never going to medicate my child. HA. Risperdal has been our saving grace and was recently approved for aggression with autism disorders. The first time we tried it was a disaster. The second was mediocre, and the third was an absolute miracle. He has developed a tolerance to it, but he's still on it. The results aren't as black and white as that third try 18 months ago, but its still an improvement. I'm no doctor, but its worth an ask. Be sure to understand side effects of everything, tho. Welcome to the board. Sorry you had to find us, but welcome to the group! [/QUOTE]
