[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 451560"] medications can be so different for everyone, even related people. I did great on zoloft, my sis had a psycho reaction. My daughter has reacted to so many medications she's pretty much a guinea pig now. Some reactions we can work around. Her abilify activates her instead of having a sedative effect it does on some, so she takes it in the morning as a work-around. Her topamax is for her anxiety. Just saying don't give up on medications helping, it's mainly a matter of finding the right one(s) if they're needed. We're also having self-esteem issues, and I wish I knew how to help with that, I'd sure be using it! She did have a summer program that worked on that, anger management, etc. but how much she'll retain and utilize is anyone's guess. Ask his therapist if there are additional programs to help with self-esteem that are separate from his regular therapy. Ditto asking the SD SpEd dept. Has art therapy been tried? Sometimes they can express in art (pick a medium, pencils, paints, music, whatever he likes) what they can't say with words. *hugs* and hang in there, and make sure to take time for you. [/QUOTE]
