[QUOTE="Steely, post: 95290, member: 3301"] Wow, your son and my son, could be brothers. The bad reaction to stims ending up in psychiatric hospital happened to us as well.........and the violence has been ongoing since he was a toddler. Linda was right though, you cannot let him start to think this is acceptable behavior. He needs to go to an ER if he becomes violent. In fact, have you talked to the psychiatrist lately about his medications? If he is violent a couple of times a week, it seems the medications may be off. In a lot of these kids with mood issues, they need 2 mood stabilizers. Like Depakote and Lithium, or Depakote and Tegretol - as well as a medication like Abilify. I know it is a lot of medications, but sometimes, for awhile, that is what we need to do to keep them stable enough to live at home. Keep coming back to this board, even daily if you have to, so you can keep your perspective about what behavior is normal, and what is not. Even just to read posts, seems to help me keep my reality front and center, and keeps me from slipping into the land of denial about what is really going on in my home. [/QUOTE]
