[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 338014, member: 2322"] I am so sorry for you. We have seen agression increased by stimulants too. I am going way out on a limb here, but I wonder if at this point if you have limited dollars whether to spend them on counseling or a consult with a board certified child psychiatrist. Again just based on the little that you have told us, I wonder if your son has a mood disorder of some sort. While counseling might give you all some valuable insights, I wonder if there are better classes of medications out there for him. At this point a consultation with a very good psychiatrist might get you some better answers than just counseling per se. Perhaps you can explore with your school whether there are counseling resources you can obtain through the school and perhaps also referalls to child psychiatrist. It sounds like you have been doing your best. One thing that many of us have learned here is punishing your child for behavior that is really beyond their control is kind of pointless. I also wonder what set your son off. I am sorry for you all. I'd try to view this as an opportunity to get everyone involved in helping your son, not as a failure on your part or on your son's part. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
