[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 494755"] Wow. The others are right. It could be the Zoloft. It could be the Zoloft WITH the Risperdal (that combination might be bad for your difficult child). It could be puberty altering the way the Risperdal has been working. It could be a LOT of things and no, psychiatrists are sometimes quick to dismiss anything THEY haven't seen before. Our psychiatrist disregarded the issue we had with the Risperdal "because it doesn't have that side effect". Well, for difficult child 1 it DOES. Our next psychiatrist disregarded the issue we had with the Prozac "because it doesn't have that side effect". Well, for difficult child 1 it DOES. Behaviors got better each time we stopped the medication. That's two different medications from two different classes that caused SEVERE issues (extreme aggression) in MY difficult child 1. I'm not saying it IS a medication issue but I highly suspect it COULD be. I also agree with DF in that the physical stuff has to stop. I have reacted the same way a few times, and NOT proud of it, but I always try REALLY hard to keep my frustration and irritation in check. I know this can be VERY hard but I agree, it sends the wrong message to our difficult child's. Are you seeing a therapist for yourself? How do YOU deal with your stress? Take care of yourself.
