[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 548023, member: 8045"] I also find your post very interisting....... My son was initially diagnosed with ODD...then the psychiatrist diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)....My son definatly doesnt have ADHD....maybe a bit of ADD.....but he has emotional regulation issues. We started of with Risperdal, but it increased his irritibility very much! Then we tried Tofranil....he vomited.....Then we started Cipralex....Sorry to say, but we never had a wow moment that I could honestly say he got much better....His meltdowns have improved, but it could be because of the Occupational Therapist (OT)......He does cry less....and his obsession with blood and gore has improved. For myself...Cipralex made me VERY VERY nausious! And it made me VERY anxious...My son doesnt complain of side effects, BUT he sometimes gets headaches, dont know if this is because of the medications? He is still VERY and I mean VERY irritable....shouting at some one if they touch him or make a noice.... The psichologist I took him to this week also suspects BiPolar (BP), deffinatly impulse control problems and also say mood disorder....Didnt mention Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)! So we are seing a new Neuro in Sept....to sort out the abnormal EEG in the R posterior temporal lobe( this regulates emotions!).... Then we also maybe need to do the medications change! I know. The psychiatrist wanted to put Abilify in the mix to help with the mood regulations... I am happy you got help....My only concern is that they are introducing 2 new medications at once...So if your son shows side effects, how will they know wichmeds is causing it? I would maybe ask the doctor to maybe start with Risperdal? [/QUOTE]
