[QUOTE="Steely, post: 107332, member: 3301"] Well, in my opinion, I would immediately take him off of the stimulant medications. ASAP! In a mood liable child, those medications can cause all sorts of instability. Second, I would hospitalize him, so that they can do a thorough evaluation and medication wash, before starting him on anything else. He sounds too volatile to do anything but a hospital stay at this point. Third, after giving him a month off of all stimulant medications, and if the problems are still there, I would then ask the psychiatrist about a mood stabilizer. Something like Depakote, or Tegretol, or Lithium. I know it is Cmas, but I would not hesitate on getting him into a psychiatric hospital., he sounds like he is spiraling downward, and could hurt himself or others soon. He needs to be somewhere safe. So sorry you are going through this............big hugs!!!! [/QUOTE]
