[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 395559, member: 1514"] Well, my suggestion considering the fact that he seems to historically [B]not[/B] do well on any of the AP's, that you try a totally different class of medication. Since his symptoms are anxiety,impulsivity, and aggression/anger, which all could indicate some form of depressive or mood disorder, I would go with a Mood Stabilizer. At 11, I would go with something like Lamictal myself because it is weight neutral and I had bad luck with depakote causing my son to grow a small amount of breast tissue for which the kids teased him greatly. That didnt go away either no matter what he did. It also caused weight gain. Thats one of the reasons Cory refuses medications now. He got up to 265. Now he is 155 and looks like a skeleton. Of course, that doesnt happen to everyone. [/QUOTE]
