[QUOTE="tinytoy, post: 309379, member: 8116"] Hi Michelle: I am new to the group and am still learing ins and outs of how to post messages etc. Reading about your child in the first few years was like reading a biography of my own daughter. She is 8yrs old and was diagnosed with ODD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. She is on risperidone 0.5mg, and sertraline 5mg. I have seen an amazing difference in behavior with her on the risperidone. She doesn't have as many explosive anger moments, and it seems to have helped with her anxiety. I would suggest continue looking for a pediatrician Psychiatrist for a second opinion, even a third or fourth. I wouldn't wean your little one off the risperidol as the withdrawl effects could be severe, you never know what would happen. Well good luck in your search for professional help and I will keep you in my thoughts. Tinytoy:happy: [/QUOTE]
