[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 415393, member: 6705"] Hi Ash!!! OK, first things first. How long has your son been exhibiting these behaviors? It's been my experience, and many others' on the board, that CD and ODD are catchall diagnosis's - and many times something that's underneath is what's causing the behaviors. Re side effects. Ibuprofen is strongly discouraged during pregnancy because of side effects... Acetominophen is OK, but it has some pretty nasty side effects, too. And we all trust Tylenol!!! I say this to illustrate that nothing is 100% [I]safe[/I]. (Heck, even breathing is bad for you any more... Don't drink water... Nothing but nothing is safe.) From the point of view of a stepmom with two kids that each have their own issues - trust me, trust me, you do NOT want a violent child. At 7 it might not seem so bad, but once he is bigger than you are - or even next month - OMG, watch out. Risperidone/risperdal was a miracle with Onyxx - [I]when[/I] she would take it. In her case, she was taking 0.25 mg 4x a day. That's seriously not much. And my stand on medications like this? If the child is raging, he cannot learn how to control himself. However, with some help calming, he can learn tools for that say he forgets to take it, or runs out, or is off them. I hate hate hate the thought of medicating children. But, sometimes? It needs to happen. {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Tahoma]:hugs:[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
