[QUOTE="busywend, post: 179889, member: 391"] Welcome! Your son is safe right now. Take a few deep breathes and gain some of your energy back. It is OK to feel relief that he is not arguing with you right now. :winking: The adderall could have him getting even angrier. The prozac is not the best answer either. He needs an evaluation with a group of doctors. A team. It is called a multi-disciplinary evaluation. It can be done at a Children's hospital. It is not only for mental health, there are medical doctors involved as well. It is meant to consider all possibilities. The little guy has been through alot but that does not mean he is not allergic to something or have something medically going on that changes behavior. I suggest you get the current team to recommend this for you and keep all people on board together. Get them used to communicating together and with you. Your son could be needing mental health treatment for many years to come and it will be helpful to have a team of medical personnel behind you. Now, since you mentioned your own history, I tend to think this is mental health - unless you have some other medical thing going on that was never looked into. Have you ever had a diagnosis? Tried medications? Do you see yourself in your difficult child? HUGS!! [/QUOTE]
