[QUOTE="4timmy, post: 414639, member: 6553"] Welcome! This site has been a life saver for me. I only wish I could spend more time on here these days though.... Anyways.... When was the last time your difficult child had her medications analyzed or altered? I ask because depending upon how long she's been taking Zoloft, it may not really be doing her any good. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but my difficult child was taking Zoloft for a quite awhile - same dose and it was useless. I finally got someone who monitors his medications on a regular basis so we can "tweak" if something isn't working. Abilify can be tricky to, too low, you get anger and aggression, too high, you get anger and aggression..... I don't have any experience with sexually abused children, but I can imagine she has a lot of anger inside. Does she abuse anyone else?... or is it just you? My difficult child used to either hurt himself or try and hurt me. He usually goes into his rages when he doesn't get his way or I change my tone with him. It's almost like he immediately kicks into some sort of defensive mode and is hurt by the fact that I'm disciplining him so he gets aggressive and acts out. It's only at me though. You will get way better advise from the folks who've been around here longer. Anyways, you have my support (for what it's worth). [/QUOTE]
