[QUOTE="buddy, post: 588656, member: 12886"] One thing that I've had to be very insistent on is the rule, one thing at a time. Otherwise it's too hard to figure out what is causing what. That includes if a new therapy or school schedule starts. I never start a medication then. Many of us have had our kids have terrible rage on risperdal. We have also had issues with Prozac. My son was on Prozac for a long time before i figured it out. But both Risperdal and Seroquel were a couple of days. And then...terrible rage! I thought all AP's would be a no go. We started Zyprexa a year ago and it changed our lives. He has gained a huge amount of weight though. But a choice of weight issues or not living at home is a clear and easy answer so we are monitoring his health closely. I'd just do the one thing for now and see if it helps. Then only start or increase medications on a friday or vacation so you can watch for side effects, and only do any significant change in activity or medications one thing at a time. Keep a notebook because this will get overwhelming by the time he is 18! Just mho.... [/QUOTE]
