[QUOTE="Josie, post: 390541, member: 1792"] What does his psychiatrist say about all of this? I would call in between appointments for something like this. Did any of this start or get worse with any of the medication changes? Something to talk to psychiatrist about, if so. Even at his age, I would take charge of the medicine, if possible. I know your work schedule might not allow that, though. That way you would at least know if he was refusing to take them. When we forgot to give my daughter her Lexapro, it was an even bigger nightmare than pre-medications. I'm not sure if his medications would have that effect, but it can't be good to be skipping them, if he is. We also tapered her off Lexapro slowly and she still had mood issues from withdrawal for longer than her psychiatrist thought she should. She's been medication-free for a few years without problems so I am sure it was medication withdrawal and not mood disorder symptoms coming back. I would view it as some kind of chemical imbalance that needs a psychiatrist's help. I realize you were asking for help for you, but to me, getting a kid stable is what helped me the most. [/QUOTE]
