[QUOTE="Savvykt, post: 604354, member: 16762"] Hi - this is my 1st time posting. We've recently (3days ago) started our 6year old DS on clonidine. My son has been diagnosis with anxiety. He is competitive beyond belief and is becoming extremely disruptive with team sports, camps and continues to be difficult at home. He has rage outburst frequently and wishes himself and the family to all be dead :( I have 4 kids, 3 boys and a little girl. So far he preformed well last year in kindergarten, but made no friends. He has a twin brother that is extremely social. the clonidine is putting him to sleep on the lowest dose .05 so now the psychiatrist wants to put him on Risperdal. I am scared to death of the side effects of Risperdal. I understand everything has side effects, just seems this drug has many common effects...he has been in play therapy for 2.5 years and just now are we getting to the point that we feel drugs may be the answer, I just wish there was a natural route. I justvdont know what to do-any advice, tips?? Thanks in advance *katie [/QUOTE]
