[QUOTE="zoo_keeper, post: 451399, member: 12188"] I understand your leeriness of trying medication again, but you've only tried one. Zoloft wasn't good for DD1 either. Neither was Prozac or Paxil or Abilify. Wellbutrin helped her quite a bit. It did nothing for her anxiety, but did help with depression and frustrations. (I'm thinking of putting her back on that one and dealing with the anxiety through therapy.) Checking out some other medications might be worth a shot. When a child is so consumed by emotions that they can't/won't share then any kind of therapy (with a therapist or at home with you) is virtually impossible. That is the reason I started medicating DD1 in the first place. It was only AFTER we got medication (even the unsuccessful ones) working in her system, that there was any communication and assistance from her.:hugs::notalone:[/QUOTE]thanks for the reply. currently i'm using a combination of the broken record/sneak attack approaches. hes just soo stubborn ! he has a huge rapport with animals so i'm hoping the new dog will be theraputic for him (please let it be a easy child, lol).as for the medication, he had a psychotic reaction to zoloft. i already have one difficult child that cant be out of my sight. i dont know how i could deal with two. if he lashes out physically again, i may have to reconsider.
