[QUOTE="jal, post: 246229, member: 3477"] Welcome. My difficult child was diagnosis'd originally with-bipolar and ADHD and none of the medications worked for him. He was trialed on Risperdal and the blood pressure medication clonodine and a host of others I won't even list - even ones he needed blood work done to monitor. Recently though we had him reevaluated by 2 other psychiatrists and he was diagnosis'd with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) Aspergers (which is what we thought). A lot of the behaviors you describe match my difficult child's. One thing has been the anxiety issue too. He is currently on Seroquel to help with mood, but the one thing we started 6 weeks ago was 10mg of Prozac. What a difference it has made. We have been able to enjoy our child for the first time in about 4 years. He also has in home therapy 2x a week and attends a therapeutic school as mainstream couldn't provide the supports. The difference with the little bit of Prozac has made a HUGE difference. Not saying this is the answer for your child, just another medication road we traveled that we have found measurable success on. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
