If you can look for one of my other post on here you will see that I am dealing with the same kind of thing. Risperidone is helping with the violence but it still pops out

We had lots of problems in school too so at least you're a lucky there.

He is on a medication called kapvay for that but I'll look into that thank you very much

I have also had medications make things worse, just FYI. I get on a lot of blogs to see what others experience with meds are although you just don't know until you try it. Everyone will react differently but it is good to know common side effects.

I agree I'm always willing to to look into and try new things whatever is best for my son
