[QUOTE="Steely, post: 474816, member: 3301"] I know - I know :( I totally understand how hard it really is and how badly it hurts....I am so sorry. Every holiday is like that for me - like looking from the outside into a world that I am not a part of. You are not alone. YES....the medication class of stimulants (Adderall, Rhitalin, etc.) can set off aggression in a person who is experiencing mood instability. The class of SSRIs (Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac, etc.) also can set off aggression and depression in people that have a mood disorder. In fact Prozac has a very clear warning on it stating that it may increase suicidal ideation in people under the age of 18. These 2 medications combined are bad news unless you know the kid has a documented case of severe depression with no past history of mood instability. I know it feels like you can't be a warrior anymore - but I know you will. Because none of can stand by while our kids are in pain. My suggestion is to get to the root of the problem here, and see what is really going on in his brain so that people know how to properly medicate him. To do so - you need to request from the phosph: -To do psychological testing on him while he is there to help assess what may be going on. -Discuss discontinuing the medications he is on with the dr on Monday, and discuss mood stabilizer options Hang in there - this will get better. (And FWIW, Matt had some decent Halloweens in phosph.) [/QUOTE]
