[QUOTE="Josie, post: 80585, member: 1792"] If you are really afraid he will hurt himself and you don't already have a psychiatrist, you do need to call 911. If he calms down, you still need to do whatever you can to prevent meltdowns like that until you can get some help for him. Probably you will need a psychiatrist to prescribe medicine for him. I would call your pediatrician and get some names tomorrow and start calling for the quickest appointment. Explain the situation to the psychiatrist's office to see if you can get in quicker. Normally, there is a pretty long wait. Maybe the pediatrician will be willing to give something while you wait for the psychiatrist. My "easy child" is taking Seroquel right now to prevent herself from hurting herself when she rages. It works quickly and keeps a lid on her anger/anxiety. Even with this medication, we are careful to try to avoid confrontations until we get her stable with some other medications. You really can't do "typical parenting" if you have a child in danger of hurting themselves. [/QUOTE]
