[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408867, member: 1233"] I would okay the risperdal. It is used to treat violence and aggression. It was a godsend for Wiz - really helped cut down on the violence we saw. It is an atypical antipsychotic and is a very useful medication for some patients. It is given prn (as needed) when a patient goes into a rage, like now, or for daily use for patients who are very aggressive or violent, etc.... With what you just posted about her rages not ending until she sees blood, PLEASE do not bring her home. It is FAR, FAR, FAR too dangerous to have her at home right now. Not if she is that violent. The ONLY other outcome would be serious injury or death which would have her in jail or juvie and end her chances of getting real help. Once in the judicial system there isn't much therapy or help and no way would she adjust well to that life with-o doing real damage to soemone/something - it woud be a never ending cycle. She has a TON more than ADHD and ODD going on. This just is NOT adhd and ODD behavior. Let the psychiatric hospital see what is going on. I am so sorry. This has to be terribly hard for you. Put some time aside each day just for you. The fact that she managed at home this long with-o severely hurting someone is a testament to your strength and determination and love for her. You have EARNED a break and a reward and respite. Regardless of what the ohter kids say. I will be shocked if she is released in a month - very shocked, but it is a good time estimate for right now. Make sure she is able to be safe in your home before you bring her home full time. Violence is never OK. [/QUOTE]
