[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 365331, member: 3419"] Xlagirl, I am so sorry for you and your family. That poor kid. He's jumping out of his own skin. I, too, am concerned about the medications, but do not know if it's the Concerta. When he was first put on medications, did you try them one by one? Or two at a time? The only way you can figure out which one it is, or better yet, which combo is doing the damage, is to get him off and start over, unless you can see an extremely clear pattern to his rages, such as just b4 dinner, when he's over tired, when he's hungry, etc. Luckily, with-my son, we can see his patterns and see him ramp up now. It took many yrs but now that I look back on it, I wish I could go back in time and change my reactions. 20/20 hindsight and all that ... My son raged nearly every day when he was 8, but it wasn't until he was hospitalized 2 yrs ago and we got him on Clonidine that he really settled down, and then a yr later, when we started Imiprimine that we saw another huge diff. The psychiatric hospital told us to get an outside, FT psychiatrist for medications, which we did, and we had a lot of problems while we were experimenting, but not with-rages ... more with-stomach aches, headaches, oversleeping, staying awake all night, etc. Every kid reacts differently. I am so glad that at least your son reacted to your reaction. That's a good thing! Don't forget, most of our kids are several yrs behind developmentally. IOW, if he's 8, he's thinking like a 4-yr-old. So don't expect him to understand extremely abstract concepts like death or God. [/QUOTE]
