[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 347447, member: 3419"] It may be the Abilify. Others here will know more about that. And the Concerta culd be wearing off, or it hasn't kicked in yet, depending upon when you give it to him. I'm just thinking that it's a pattern, since you see it most in the evening and early a.m., and with-bipolar, you won't see a pattern, per se. He sounds VERY much like my son. You're doing a great job, getting him to practice using words instead of exploding. My son is still learning, but he has improved immensely in the past 2 yrs. He is 13 now. We've been in therapy since cave man days. :) I hope you have a good therapist who can help script him and sort through the emotions. Have you heard of brushing? It's a technique to calm kids down. It may come in handy at night when he's hyper and you want him to settle down, do homework and especially, go to sleep. Melatonin helps, too, and it's safe. [/QUOTE]
