[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 623305, member: 3419"] Welcome, Poobah. Glad you've gotten some good responses so far. I feel for you. I agree, stay together for the moment, as long as you're not at one another's throats. :) I do not like the long list of medications that your son is on. Too many medications, none working, waste of money, potentially dangerous. Too hard to tell which one is working. It is so hard to find a psychiatrist who will really, really take a good history and go slowly with-medications. Go back in time and make a timeline, together with-your wife, and write down when you first noticed behavior issues with-your son. Then write down the first medication, the second one, etc. and the symptoms. You will probably see that some didn't really work. Adding to the list when one or two aren't working is sheer laziness on the part of the psychiatric. (Sorry, this really ticks me off.) Do you have any mental illness or Asperger's or Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) or anything on either sides of the family? Don't worry about an accurate diagnosis--look for alcoholism, school drop outs, depression, etc. Your wife has anxiety ... what is her family history? Cousins, aunts, etc? Ignore your inlaws, by the way. You've got enough problems with-your marriage. :) Yes, find a new psychiatrist now. NOW. Many of the medications used on your child are not supposed to be used for kids that young. Prozac is one of my least favorite for kids, just in my humble opinion. Welcome. Stay on board with us. You are not alone. [/QUOTE]
