[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198050, member: 5975"] I think we screwed up BAD last year doing just that. We took his birthday away from him (he still got presents and a cake with us, but no party at school, and no one coming over). What we [I]didn't[/I] take into account is that it was his first birthday without his grandfather (he died last year), and he just lost it when no one came over for a birthday party. And not lost it in a violent way, but like something inside him broke. I hadn't heard a wail like that come out of his mouth since his grandfather died... It just broke my heart to hear it...:sad-very: I just got off the phone with the prescribing doctor. He checked in, made sure Adam wasn't on any other medications, and gave the go-ahead to up the dose. So we'll be doing that tonight. We'll see how that goes. Honestly I am just torn. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking I am medicating my child. But on the other hand, he really cannot control himself when he gets mad, and I need to keep him from hurting anyone, both for the safety of others AND for himself. He needs to not feel so out of control, which I know he does... I just hate this. It is very unsettling to be theoretically & philosophically opposed to something, yet in practically left with no other real alternative... [/QUOTE]
