[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 365254, member: 1550"] Hi. Wow. Has your son ever seen a neuropsychologist for a complete evaluation? Because in my opinion the doctor has him on a lot of medications, but is he even sure what he's giving them f or? Sometimes medications make things worse (as one who does have a mood disorder and who has been on sooooooooo many medications, many made me worse, not better). Four medications is a lot. I agree about the Concerta. If my child raged, there would be no stimulants. They can make mood disorders worse. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son doesn't have a mood disorder and HE was worse on the ADHD medications. Abilify can also cause a person to be jittery and hyper. Are any of these medications new? Can y ou tell us more about his early development and your family history?
