[QUOTE="Steely, post: 174067, member: 3301"] medications are difficult...........certainly Prozac and SSRIs can cause increased agitation.........then again, for some, like me, they can make life worth living. You really have to be self aware. Xanax is highly addictive, and most docs only will only XR a small amount of them, and then tell you to "cope". The best coping skill for me is to walk away. Sometimes leave. Even if it is walking down the block. I know your son is young, but walking down the block for a minute is better than slapping and yelling. It is hard, because these kids knowingly want to trigger every response in us they can. We have to be constantly vigilant of this, and safeguard ourselves against being triggered. I could sit here and write all day about all of the things we should do - but I know how it feels in the moment. Try and find some outside things to release that energy. Yoga, meditation, prayer, exercise...........Read books, go to counseling, get some respite. Do whatever it takes. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
