[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 214615, member: 1233"] If he was prescribed the Zoloft in October, he is right about at the time the suicidal thoughts would be VERY active. If your psychiatrist won't listen you may need to take him to the ER or to a psychiatric hospital for an evaluation. They can help you with services and a psychiatrist who WILL pay attention to you. Many more hugs on their way to you (I am a hugger!). Remember when you are talking to the "experts" that they are "expert" on whatever field, but YOU are the EXPERT on your child. YOU live with him, carried him inside your body (or welcomed him into your heart just as if you did carry him inside you if you adopted him - it is a mom thing), and KNOW him. And know we are ALL with you in the doctor's office. We are there to support you and give you the strength you need to advocate for your son. I read about the docs you have been to. I want to suggest you see a neurologist and get a sleep deprived EEG. There is a chance that your son has seizures. They can cause difficult child behaviors and NOT look like the stereotyped seizures. Esp if they thought he had inattentive ADHD - my daughter was diagnosis'd with this by a psychiatrist. I took her to a neuro and had an EEG run, on the advice of another mom here. My daughter has Absence Epilepsy - NOT ADHD. We DID trial strattera before we got the EEG done. It did not help her. But the epilepsy medications DO help. I just wanted to suggest that. HUGS! [/QUOTE]
