Re: NYTimes: Drugs (Risperdal) Offer No Benefit in Curbing Aggression, Study Finds

[Guest guest]

I so disagree with this study. My daughter got the same attention from me regardless of her behavior and I have tried lots of different meds. Risperdal is the only stuff that works (she's now on the time released Invega with the Risperdal wafer). I saw an immediate difference the day after we started her meds over 3 years ago. I had adopted her 2 1/2 years prior and the second eve on meds she laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep sucking her finger. I cried my eyes out. She couldn't get that calm before. I would love to entertain anyone who wants to come to my house and study my daughter, but if they take her off her meds they will need to wear armor!
