[QUOTE="KarenB, post: 159652, member: 3821"] Thank you, pepperidge. I do believe Zoloft is the problem. He's been on it for quite a long time. I think he was on 50 mg for about 2 years before this new psychiatrist upped it to 100mg recently. I called today to leave a message for his psychiatrist, and I will get a call tomorrow about this. I want to discontinue the Zoloft completely. I never felt he needed it in the first place, but since he was supposedly going to one of the best psychiatrists in my state, I didn't question. I finally got fed up after 3 years of him going to that psychiatrist, and I switched him to this new one about 3 months ago. I feel this psychiatrist listens to me, where the other one was blaming me for my difficult child's behavior instead of trying to help, and she did this in front of him! Anyway, he's been on Concerta for about 3 years. The dose was steadily increased, and it has worked for him as far as his school work. I stopped getting calls from teachers about him getting out of his seat constantly in class and talking, not staying on task, etc.. But see now his behavior at school and at home is far worse than it's ever been. He even broke into our neighbor's house. They chose not to press charges, although at times I wish they had. If it's not his medications causing this he needs a serious wake-up call. [/QUOTE]
