[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 559183"] Hi and welcome. Your son's early years sound exactly like my son's. The pediatricians tried every type of formula on the market. He was put on baby Zantac. Nothing helped. His father stayed at work as many hours a day as possible and would tell me, "I just can't take the crying anymore." My son developed pretty bad epilepsy at age two so he was put on Trileptal to control seizures. This drug is also used as a mood stabilizer. Even though he was on a drug that stabilizes his mood, during one of his 24 hr EEGs the doctors noted his violent behavior towards me and the medical staff so he was put on Risperdal which is an anti-psychotic. He started preschool at three years old and was dismissed from the first three that he attended. On the second day of kindergarten I was met by his teacher and the principal. His father and I got a divorce when he was four years old. If no one has warned you and your husband that families with kids like this are high risk for divorce I am warning you now. His therapist warned us when he was four years old but by that time it was too late. My son has had two neuropsychologist evaluations and currently holds the same diagnoses as your son. He was taken off the Trileptal after he grew out of the seizures and taken off the Risperdal due to really high serum Prolactin levels. You can read from my signature all of the medications that we have tried. I wish that I had a happy ending for you or some useful advice. The best advice that I can give is do whatever you can to preserve your marriage because divorce only complicates a situation like this. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. There are people out there who have, "the same story" as you. hugs [/QUOTE]
