[QUOTE="Ann Yoxtheimer, post: 438144, member: 12205"] I have a son I am so worried about. He is 9, and we've been having trouble with him since he was 5 and entered kindergarten. He attacked children for no reason and with no provocation. He started in kindergarten, and he had not been having problems anywhere else. After a few months in kindergarten, he was having trouble in church too. He also could not learn to read. He still cannot read. In January of 2009, the psychiatrist diagnosed him with ADHD and anxiety, and gave him Prozac and Concerta. It was like a light switch had been flipped. He became my good-natured and sweet child again. He went from getting suspended every other day to winning award for his behavior. This lasted exactly 12 months. After 12 months, he slowly deteriorated until he was worse than before. They tried adding Risperdal to the mix. They tried several other medicines too. Soon we discovered that he cannot take any stimulants or antidepressants without becoming aggressive and even psychotic. I had to hospitalize him last year in October for psychosis. He is now on Abilify and Depakote, but he cannot tolerate any frustrations of any kind, and he follows me around all day, clinging to me for dear life. He's also doing some bizarre rocking motions. The really weird thing he does is when he becomes very unstable he begins to act like an animal. He hisses like a snake, whimpers like a puppy, barks and growls like a dog. I read another post from a mother who's son does the same thing. I'm thinking about asking for seroquel from the doctor, because I have a mood disorder and seroquel works for me. I have a blog about him if anyone is interested. just google xanders war. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
