[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 292503, member: 3419"] No, I don't see a difference. When they're raging, they're raging. I understand why the dr wants to try it. What the Risperdal can do (or any medication that will take the edge off) is 1) calm him down so that he has more calm moments than raging moments. Then, when he does rage, he'll truly understand the difference and understand how uncomfortable it is. It will also 2) allow him to think more clearly and escalate more slowly, so you can talk him through a potential rage and stop it b4 it gets out of hand, or at least see it coming so you can stop the situation/conversation. Again, the fewer raging moments he has, the more time you have in between to do behavior modification and therapy. Taking off on what Fran said, have you tried an elimination diet for your son? Wheat and milk products, for example? When my son went off wheat he was like a different person. [/QUOTE]
