[QUOTE="wjaes, post: 12735, member: 1960"] Sara and Serentity, First Serenity, I am not sure what is going on with my son and his medication. combination...it's just his response. I think different medication. combinations work different on different people. I hope you find out stuff that will work for your son. My son is not real concerned about the weight gain yet. He is more upset that I have less of the "red flag" foods around. Sara, my son has been on some combination of medication since he was 5 years old. He started on just Strattera and then they added Clonidine (that could have been the other way around, it was sooo difficulties ago). He went in the hospital and they added Zoloft. He was on all 3 and then about 6 months later they took him off the Strattera and started the Focalin. They took him off the Zoloft and then increased the Focalin (he was still and has always been on the clonidine) and then when he was in the hospital the last time (very manic and perseverating on thinks like sharpening sticks and collecting things and aggressive) they took him upon my request off the focalin and he was only on clonidine (that was in February of 2006) until August when they started him on the abilify. Does this make sense? Is it important to go off of all medication's occasionally? Thanks again everyone for your postings. I am concerned that my son could become more aggressive and get worse if his dad tries to "tough love" him. Wendy [/QUOTE]
