[QUOTE="cindyd, post: 63517, member: 3550"] Thanks for the input. My son has been seeing psychiatrists since he was in the 2nd grade. He never did well on ADHD medications. It caused more aggression and he hated the way he felt (even when antidepressents were added). We took him off medications altogether when he was in middle school. That is when the aggression, opposition, need for high stimulant activities, fighting started. He was expelled from school for a fight he started with another student that put the boy in the hospital. He has been in numerous fights ever since. He says he blacks out and doesn't remember much about them. Recently, he says a man pulled a knife on him. He (my son) took a golf club and beat him with it. The man was in the hospital with a broken jaw. He has pressed charges and my son is facing felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. He also jumped into a fight and began kicking a boy that was already down. He is facing misdemeanor assault for that. He also hit a young man over the head with a glass mug, causing the boy to need 14 staples in the head. The boy was fighting one of my son's friends. My son seems to crave this excitement. He has also stolen our credit cards, used them at bars, for gas, and withdrawn money from the teller machine. Then denied that he had done it. He stays up all night and sleeps all day. He abuses alcohol and weed. He is on probation for violation of probation, just got off house arrest. He seems to think he is perfectly normal. His doctor is adding the Geodon to the Lexapro he is already taking. The Lexapro helps with anxiety and panic attacks my son has. I hope the Geodon doesn't make him worse. It is so hard to watch him self-destruct. [/QUOTE]
