[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 356828, member: 1233"] i am sorry the day is so rough. It really sounds like it is time to ask the doctor about inpatient help. Having to send his brother away to keep him safe is a red flag that he NEEDS more help than you can provide. It does NOT mean you are a bad parent, it just means that his needs are so great that he needs more than ANY family home can provide. The sexually inappropriate behavior is often a sign of bipolar. Have you read The Bipolar Child by Papalous? It may be very helpful for you. If he is bipolar then he NEEDS a first line mood stabilizer, like lamictal or lithium or depakote. He may even need two mood stabilizers, and an antipsychotic to deal with the anger and aggression. I am pretty sure abilify is NOT a first line MS, and concerta may very well be sending him into more mood cycling. You probably should ask your doctor about mood stabilizers for this. I am so sorry the day is so hard! [/QUOTE]
