[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 190268"] Risperdal was by far the BEST medication for our child (also adopted) when she was younger and raged.This was perhaps the ONLY medication that curtailed it. Evenetually, she developed a side effect and we switched to Abilify. Today, she still uses small amounts of Risperdal (as needed). The Abilify also works very well...seems milder in a certain kind of way. Also, it somehow allows difficult child to think a bit...a little less impulsivity. When first taking Abilify, she had stomach issues and had to take it with Pepto Bismal. This lasted for about a week. Both of these medications have been helpful for our child and therefore, our daily lives. The book The Bipolar Child has some great info. on not only Bipolar Disorder (not sure what the diagnosis is we are talking about), but the medications used to treat it. You can get it at the library. For the medications, school and family ideas...it is awesome! [/QUOTE]
