[QUOTE="wolonfab, post: 90561, member: 2797"] My darling child has gone onto a new medication to try Concerta (which is just ritalin released slow...which he was taken off due to his wrist slitting) to get his aggression under control...After the recent wrist cutting episode I feel I am damned if I do and damned if I dont... I myself was just diagnosed with extreme depression and am being evaluated by a psychologist so I am really struggling to calm him down .... He was a nightmare to get to sleep last night but that was cause I gave him the medication too late in the day....he had the neighbors kid come over yesterday and 5 mins later she was gone...i found out she accidentally (he says ) got hit in the head with a ball and he refused to allow her in to see me when she was crying so she is never allowed over to play again....... He then told me what he thought of her in rude words.... But this morning he has turned into a monster ... * swearing(well whats new huh) * threatening violence * attacking his cat and 3 yr old and me * and throwing furniture across the floor cause he doesn't want to eat breakfast ``````````` He is obnoxious and rude and aggressive and mean.... this morning I cant look at him without him getting agro....I have just been smacked in the head with every object he could get off the table cause I asked him to get dressed for school and told to f* off big fat pig etc He has also advised me that if anyone touches him today he will knock them out...... He said last night he is sick of all the chatter everywhere... too much chatter at home and too much at school... He is really angry and off the scales...The peadv is once more writing to mental health cause they wont even return my calls any more in re to difficult child.... He is angry cause i am making him go to school and I am sure today he will get himself into trouble Ohhhh the joys of medication..... and a hope that this is just his body adjusting......cause this morning I am actually scared once more of my 6 yr old....(I even started taking a class on challenging behavior for 8 wks locally to try and work out why my son is this way...they said i cant punish him cause he wont get why...so what do i do now? ) Has anyone found that concerta takes a while to get into the body and work? does it make kids angry before it starts to work? is this normal? Only 5 weeks and 6 days to go till i talk to his paed .... Lol [/QUOTE]
