[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 351543"] REad fast, may have missed something, but first of all...I am so sorry. Like someone said, if you suspect BiPolar (BP), then his medications might not be ideal. You might gently ask the doctor if the Concerta could be a problem. YOu could always get a second opinion about all of this. Also, it is imperative that you get yourself stronger. Can you see a therapist? There is nothing shameful about this. Many of us here have felt the need from time to time. Having a child with needs like this is very very draining. Good to see that your husband is a "great guy." Make sure you "protect" your relationship. Do what you can to get out of the house ALONE with him. HIring a very strong babysitter (or two) and get out for an hour or two at least twice a month. Just do it! What do you like to do to relax? If you have forgotten what that it is....stop now and think about it. Then find the time to DO IT! Double check that his school situation is the best that it can be....be extra good to teachers who seem to have your son's best interest at heart. It is not easy for them either. As a side note...although each child is DIFFERENT, Abilify was a very good medication for our child. YOu might want to do some research on this medication. REad up on your child DXs....The book called "The Bipolar Child," by Dr. Papolous is awesome! Try your best not to get overly emotional when things go wrong with your child. Try not to take things personally. This behavior is his doing...not yours. Try to separate. And as your child gets older, this will be even more important. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
