[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 10964, member: 393"] In my mind, whatever medication might be suggested, there will be a need for your difficult child to learn coping skills when he's anxious. He'll have to recognize how his body feels when he is anxious & learn to be redirected or how to redirect himself, if at all possible. Self calming skills is the next on my list. Look for things that calm difficult child. I used baths, chamomile tea, quiet reading, rocking - almost all sensory in nature to help with the agitation kt & wm felt due to their PTSD. Sometimes swaddling in a special blanket helps as well. Just thinking out loud for you here. Medication will be a start - there will be a learning process ahead for both you & difficult child.
