[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 708856, member: 11832"] Alana, if he isn't on any medication that would be the culprit for this escalation in his behavior, then he probably does need to try a medication in order to help him control his behavior. I was thinking along the lines of SWOT yesterday. Adderall, anti-depressants, and other medications can cause weird behavior in adults, much less children. By any chance is your son taking albuterol for asthma? I watched a lot of kids totally lose control while taking albuterol. There is a different medication for asthma called xopenex which does not have the same over-stimulating effect on people. My mother (who is 80) hallucinates when she takes antibiotics. She knows this is what is happening, but imagine how that may feel if you were a small child and it were happening. It's okay to offer a bribe for going to the appointment. I know I offered Ferb one to participate in his evaluation. I can't remember what it was, but it was substantial. "Mommy needs you to go to an appointment with a doctor. This doctor will help you to feel better. You won't need to get a shot. Mostly he will talk to you and ask you questions. If you go and tell the truth I will take you to the zoo on Saturday." Good work, Mom, for getting him calmed down. :bravo: [/QUOTE]
