TSParentsOnline received this e-mail from a Texas mom named Jennifer who is looking for some feedback regarding medication. To help her, please leave a reply in the comments section.<\/em><\/p>\n

My son has been\u00a0diagnosed\u00a0with TS for 4 years now. \u00a0He has several co-morbid conditions, and like the parents on the blog, I think the tics are the least of the concerns a lot of the time.<\/p>\n

He is in fourth grade, and last year he was — and still is — having issues with rage.\u00a0He went on Risperdal, and now that I sit back and look, I think it might be more of an ADHD issue than rage.<\/p>\n

I was wondering if anyone out there found a better reaction on ADHD meds to deal with the rage than Risperdal.\u00a0I don’t like the Risperdal because the last blood draw showed a problem with kidney\u00a0function. \u00a0When I looked on side effects for Risperdal, it showed kidney damage as a side effect. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a blog about medicines to help me figure this out.<\/p>\n

I have one wish: I wish that the neurologist, pediatrician, immunologist, neurofeedback doctor, neurosensory doctor and all the other doctors could talk to each other instead me relaying all this information to everyone over and over again. \u00a0Then maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here wondering what in the heck to do to stop my son from sitting under his desk at school trying to get away from it all….<\/p>\n
