[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 579532, member: 3512"] IT1967 - I am in the same boat right now. I am looking for a new psychiatric and neuropsychologist to get a complete evaluation. For the past 6 weeks or so, we have lived with daily (many times 2-3) meltdowns/rages. I don't know what to do any more. I am literally going out of my mind. He is very immature. He will beg and beg to have one of his only friends over and then when he's here, he wants them to eat over, or sleep over, or another friend over, while almost ignoring the friend who is there!! He is very immature for his age. He is on Tenex and Abilify. Has been on Depakote and Risperdal but he was gaining so much weight. He was like a bottomless well. He has gained about 20 lbs in the last year alone. I had started tapering his Abilify because he hasn't been medication free for years - and I wanted to see if they were really helping but I stopped doing that since the rages are going on. He may be headed back to Depakote or Risperdal. I don't know. All I know is I am doing my very best and I am exhausted. I'm curious as to your husband's take on all this because although my husband CLAIMS to understand that he has real diagnosis', most of the time when the meltdowns start, that so-called knowledge flies out the window and he starts a meltdown of his own.
