[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 140374, member: 2894"] Thanks! We actually have our f/u psychiatrist appointment tomorrow afternoon for a medication check (thank goodness- I don't think I can take one more night of him barking orders at us and then flipping out when he doesn't get what he wants and then having to restrain him). I will certainly bring it up to him tomorrow. husband noticed the shoulder shrugging once M was already agitated. So...I'm not so sure if it was anxiety related, persay, but he was certainly not in a calm state of mind- he was very agitated/angry/looking to pick fights. M is on 10 mg Abilify (has been for many months now- started Abilify in Aug 07...not exactly sure when we went up to 10 mg, but it was months and months ago) and 75 mg of Zoloft. We started at 50 mg of Zoloft 2 months ago (switched from Celexa, which seemed to start to "poop out") and then up to 75 mg 4 wks ago. Since increasing the Zoloft, M has been having trouble getting to sleep, has been a little more testing boundaries (I don't want to do my homework...I don't want to go to school...but he ends up going to school and the homework either gets done or does not and he accepts the consequence.), school reports that he is in and out of his seat frequently and needs a lot of reminders (somewhat normal for him), but recently has been "un-inhibited" in that he is more friendly to strange teachers/facalty and other students, is initiating play with other classmates (whereas he used to favor one classmate), is overstepping personal space (when sitting around a table, his chair is always right on top of someone elses, whereas he used to be more reserved and pulled back- now he knows no space). They report that overall he is doing well (though he tells us he has recently been refusing to do work the past week or so). Of course, at home he is starting to quickly meltdown. One second he says he's "fine" and the next second he folds his arms tightly and says he wishes he were dead...10 minutes later we're blocking punches because we've told him that he needs to wash his hands before he eats.
