[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 292387, member: 1169"] I'm not sure Risperdal would help a child who has enough control to intentionally hurt someone. I think it is for children exactly like yours -- to help give them enough of an "assist" to control their anger as they learn anger management skills through therapy. I have 3 difficult children. ALL has been on Risperdal and the other APs. Both boys learned enough anger management skills that they have been successfully weaned off of all APs. They needed it so that we (parents and therapists) could get through to them and teach them how to manage their frustration and anger. My daughter will be on APs for life as she needs them both for anger and psychosis (actually I hope they develop a better class of medications for her as the APs just take the edge off and she needs something much more). Putting him on it doesn't mean you are stuck forever. If it doesn't help, you can take him off of it. [/QUOTE]
