[QUOTE="klmno, post: 50550, member: 3699"] He had always taken 10 mg/day (very low dose), then he was increased to 20 mg/day. Being a boy at this age, psychiatrist and I had thought the growth spurts, hormonal changes, etc., had caused the lower dosage to be ineffective. He was on 20 mg/day for ten days prior to crime spree. Also, there had been some escalation in bad behavior, along with depressive symptons, before the dosage increase. The sd "rejection" happened 3 days before the crime spree. In my mind, the ineffective IEP, where sd approached behavior intervention by telling us "one more violation, you're out", then actually following thru with that, triggered this. I don't know if the crime spree would have happened or been as bad if he had been on a medication other than prozac, but I'm not convinced that it caused it. Also, I might just be "looking for things" too closely now, but since being off all medications (2-3 weeks), I think I;m seeing cycling in him. Something else, he's starting to discuss things he notices about himself with psychiatrist. These include: there are periods of time when he doesn't feel pain normally and that lately he can't sit still, has to be moving and doing something constantly. (There has never been any history of ADHD with him). [/QUOTE]
