[QUOTE="Jim, post: 511780, member: 14074"] Thanks for your reply, he also has depakote (a mood stabilizer) a antipsychotic medication is much different, antipsychotic medications such as Haldol block dopamine to the brain and will induce symptoms such as Dyskinesia, Parkinson's, Tardive Dystonia, we are hearing a antipsychotic medication would be the appropriate course to take, and there is no way I will pump ritalin into him, I work in the medical litigation field and am fully aware of medications. He is very incorrigible to say the least, he displays all the signs of ODD and CD, we have tried every form of parenting, tell him to go to school he says no, drag him to school, he leaves campus, gets F's for not turning in work, EVERY paper he turns in he gets an A+, he's sharp as a tack, but displays the stupidest behavior, and cares not about any consequence, he has a yearly pass to a local gym yet will break into the school gym to work out. I am not looking for a solution to help my wife and I cope, this is not something he can be "talked" out of (he's been in counseling) my concern is that my son needs to be able to function as an adult in the very near future. Any suggestions are appreciated jim [/QUOTE]
