[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 635662, member: 3907"] Malika, if the medications are making J's negative behaviour worse then that might very well be a good reason to stop. Years ago my difficult child was prescribed an SSRI (paroxitine) for anxiety. He experienced akathesia, extreme disregulation, impulsivity and other destructive symptoms that led directly to a major run-in with the law, and other consequences. If the medication isn't working for J, talk to your doctor as soon as possible about making a change, whether it's lowering him to a less-than-therapeutic dose, switching to another non-stimulant medication, or something else entirely. The whole purpose of medications is to make things better for J and for you. If the medications aren't doing that, then they're not working. Trinity [/QUOTE]
