Dadfor2,
They put our raging son on clonidine (after his inpatient stay, $9000.00+ 5-day respite for us) in the evening to try and slow him down. It did nothing. The doctors dragged their feet at putting him on a mood stabilizer like Zyprexa which my brother-in-law who is a child psychiatrist felt he needed after reading his history. Living with him was like living with domestic violence. We did not know what he was going to do to us when we engaged him. It was like living with a terrorist in the house.
When you see in the kids' candy coated profiles, "Needed, family who will be committed and give unconditional love" this means RAD, RAD, RAD. This is were the novice adopters get taken advantage of because their love is strong and conquers all.
