[QUOTE="Steely, post: 474807, member: 3301"] Hi Crystal - So sorry you are going through all of this. It is so tough. I have been in your shoes many, many times. First of all, of course there is a difference between Adderral and Adderall XR! doctors. Geez. The point is that you saw the aggression increase when they switched things, so you want him to go off of it. in my opinion - I would steer away from that medication category in general if you can. It can increase aggression. So can the medication class of Zoloft (SSRI). Perhaps he needs to do a medication wash while he is there to get him on more mood stabilizing sorts of medication? Matt has flipped his lid every October since he was 3 - except for ONE. No lie. No reason that I could ever find - except that many kids with mood issues, find that this month is very hard. Less light, winter approaching, school ramping up - it can be a lot of things. I am glad you made the hospital take him in. Now you will have to a be a warrior mom and demand that he get on the right medications, and get some help. These phosphs do not do well left to their own accord - (in my opinion) - you really have to push them, and hold them accountable. <HUGS> [/QUOTE]
