[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 176303, member: 1498"] Which brings up the fear I lived with while my son was violent from antidepressants. He was over 16 at the time and getting progressively more violent. We must keep in mind that police aren't going to play with an aggressive, violent man-child. They were physical with my son, twice needing four officers to subdue him. Had my son's level of violence -- which included "protecting himself" with a knife from what he misperceived to be aggression on the part of others -- the police were eventually going to shoot him. It's that simple. Consequently I [I]never[/I] called the police on my son. Those two times it took four grown men to subdue him....by the time he arrived at the ER is was totally and completely calm and rational. It seems once the reaction explodes into behavior, it disapates for a period of time and the child is calm ....and often expresses true regret. Can you imagine what it must be like to realize you just had a totally irrational and unexplainable rage? How mortified you would be? But then is starts to gradually build again.... [/QUOTE]
