[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 410446, member: 2423"] Has he been worse since he started Concerta and Zoloft? Sometimes those medications can increase agitation and aggression rather than calm kids down. Topamax has been shown in clinical trials to be not all that effective in treating aggression. It is far more effective as a migraine preventive and for appetite suppression. Rather than add medications, it would be better to discontinue the offending medications and start with more effective medications. It's not that kids aren't on three medications, but they should be the [I]right[/I] medications. It's good you're getting in to see a child psychiatrist. Our pediatrician won't prescribe psychiatric medications because he knows it's not his specialty. I personally wouldn't mess around with the medications until you get in to see the psychiatrist.
