[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 273895, member: 1550"] I don't even know your psychiatrist and I"m running out of patience with him :raspberry-tounge:. First of all, Lexapro CAN and DOES often make kids angrier and MORE out of control. If husband expects this to cure him, he's in for a rude awakening. It could make him worse. In fact, it sounds like it is. I would never give an antidepressant to a violent child. I take them--they are very potent and can cause all sorts of scary behaviors. As for your psychiatrist, jeesh!!! He should be calling hospitals to ask them to take him. Why does he think this child goes for sharp objects? Well, let me guess. To hurt either himself or others. To me, that spells that he's dangerous to at least others and needs to be out of the home and in treatment, although this kid is so sick I'm not sure what will help. He needs an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), but the psychiatrist doesn't seem to be on the ball. Do you like his doctor? Do you feel he "gets" your stepson? What was this child going to do with those sharp blades? I call that being too dangerous to be at home. [/QUOTE]
