[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 588677, member: 15799"] I've had the same experience with Prozac and Risperdone as Buddy. My son was on Risperdone for 2 months and during that time, he became increasingly agitated and then aggressive. I put a stop to the medication. Because he had been acting out at school during this time, and being punished for it, he went into a deep depression. The psychiatrist put him on Prozac. He was on that for 5 months before I realized I was seeing the same reaction but in slower motion (taking longer to progress). He ended up in the phospital after a "legal issue". We have done much better with just the Tenex. Does your psychiatrist have a lot of experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? Do you have any clue as to the "why" of your son's behavior? What has changed? What's he trying to avoid? Is there [B]anything[/B] new or different that he might be angry about or anxious about? Is he being teased or bullied at school? That would be my first thought actually. He can't tell you yet he expects mom and dad to "fix" it but you aren't because you don't know...... Know what I mean?? I would really focus my energy on figuring out what has changed in his life at school, home, anywhere that he's having a problem dealing with appropriately. To me, it sounds like he's terrified of something, especially at school since that's where it sounds like his behavior is worse. To simply answer your question, yes Risperdone and Prozac can and have caused those kinds of rages in kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). [/QUOTE]
