[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 211685, member: 1550"] Hi there. His doctor had him on SEVEN medications? And he's on Thorazine too. First off, is he getting any intensive interventions for the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified? That would be even more important than the medications. My son has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified and the interventions were invaluable. He isn't even on medications anymore. He's doing great. Does this child maybe have alcohol effects as well? My opinion, for what it's worth, is to see another psychiatrist. I don't think this doctor really knows what he is medicating. If your child gets nutty on stimulants, Straterra can even make him worse. He is on a medication for a mood disorder, thorazine (a very OLD school anti-psychotic) and the ADHD medication Straterra...I just wouldn't care for the mix for my kid. Maybe a neuropsychologist evaluation will give you a better idea of what is really wrong with your son. Sounds like psychiatrist doesn't know so he's just throwing medications at him to see if something sticks. I would be very leery of any doctor who gave that many medications AND who prescribed Thorazine. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
