[QUOTE="KarenB, post: 160483, member: 3821"] I thank you all for your replies! I feel the support here from all of you, and it is like a weight off my shoulders. Sara, I'm also wondering about the knife interest also. He has stabbed our walls, sliced our counters in the kitchen, been suspended twice now for taking a knife to school, and my husband has confiscated three knives recently difficult child had hidden in his bedroom. And, he also carved the words "kill me" in his arm. Yes, Zoloft is the only AD difficult child has ever been on. I know it's not advisable, but since the psychiatrist doesn't seem to feel the need to call me when I described all these behaviors I think I will cut his 100mg Zoloft in half starting Monday, if I can't get in touch with him. His 50mg dose was doubled about 6 weeks ago. I think disinhibition is what's going on, but we'll see how things go. I'm not ruling out a mood disorder. I still feel getting him off both medications would be a good thing. He just started seeing this psychiatrist, and has only been to him twice. I got the sense this psychiatrist was willing to work with me and listen to my suggestions, unlike the previous psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
