[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 494317"] I just want to ditto what the others have said. If this is new since starting the Intuniv, I would suspect that (alone or in combination with the others) is the cause. I also question the ADHD and ODD. The symptoms of those are also part of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diganoses and the anxiety can be explained by this also. difficult child 1 carried those for 3 years and we had PROBLEMS. Prozac made him VERY aggressive to the point that the local police/ER doctor put him on a 72-hour hold in a psychiatric hospital. He had been on it for 6 months before all that happened. Have you thought of doing a medication wash and starting from square one? What were the BIGGEST behaviors you were dealing with before any medications? Just curious. Our old psychiatrist put difficult child 1 on one medication that caused behaviors then added one to deal with what the first one was causing. We took him off BOTH medications (I insisted even though psychiatrist's answer was to increase doses). Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
