[QUOTE="Star*, post: 140773, member: 4964"] OMG you haven't been around here so your "long" thread in comparison to one of my rants is very minimal. The forum here is HERE just for the reason you came so don't feel you ever have to apologize. You have a child, you are a Mother - you are doing all in your power to help him and I think that is fantastic. Finding an answer may be a little harder - but that is what we warrior Moms do - we are the energizer bunnies of the mental health world. I think we all would like to know what makes our children less aggressive. Lord knows with mine we tried 64 medications in 11 years. He now refers to himself as the Human Guinea Pig when medications are mentioned. It usually shuts a psychiatrist right up. The reason I'm hesitant to say or list any medications is because with my son most of the medications that we were told would help with impulse control, aggression and the like made him angrier and MORE aggressive. Even some SSRI's did the same. The last medicine that was recommended for him was lithium. My son said NO WAY - and refused to take it. He's still aggressive, but therapy with activities, and a new environment have seemed to help him. He's at a Therapeutic Foster Home (TFH). I would suggest while you are on your quest for the right medication or combinations of medications that you look into someone who teaches realaxation techniques. Some YMCA's have water therapy for kids. Some therapists could recommend play therapy. That may be good for him since he is emotionally at kindergarten level. My son is 17 and I can tell you that he's been 3-5 years behind. His life experiences as a young child made him an emotional wreck. In your sons case - surgery altered parts of his brain. I'm really floored though - WHERE is the emotional support from the doctor that recommended this surgery and the after-care suport? I think I would be knocking on a few doors and doing more than being nice. I belive in my humble opinion that this man OWES YOUR SON follow up care. I don't know how anyone can offer brain altering surgery and then just leave you to figure stuff out. I'm so sorry for that. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
