[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 274062, member: 1991"] I worry when I read posts like tis, then hear of parents saying things like, "I won't deal with him nnow, just let him think about his behaviour." He CAN'T think about his behaviour, tat is why he is such a mess and such a worry. He has already told you that the pills make him feel 'weird', he is NOT in control and therefore shouldn't be punished for takingthe fan apart. Consequences - yes, he has to help fix it. But he is asking for help, he isn't choosing to be naughty. I worry that husband doesn't fully get it. This is a lad who has obsessive (and disturbing) thoughts, who can't get them out of his head, who is anxious, worrying, angry and knows he is hanging onto control by his fingernails. He wants help and is frightening himself, at least as muchas he is frightening you (which is a lot, I know). We went through problems like with when difficult child 3 was put on Strattera. It was scary. If I had taken him to the hospital like we were told to, I do wonder what they would have diagnosed. ONLY in his case it was medication-caused, he is generally very stable. But the Strattera (in our case) was making difficult child 3 seem very psychotic. And he'd only been on it 3 days! I hope you can get some answers quickly, before any further worries. Marg [/QUOTE]
