[QUOTE="CindyPoPZ, post: 424377, member: 11854"] Sorry for the confusion. First he was on 5mg twice a day, then his dose was increased to 10mg twice a day and I noticed increased aggression when his medications were wearing off at night. To remedy this his doctor suggested giving an evening dose of 5mg. This did nothing to help the situation except he was able to focus on homework a little better. So she recommended an increase to 10 mg in the evening. so 10 mg 3 times a day. This has been about two weeks now and he his aggression when coming off the medications and before he takes them is off the charts. he's calmer but still very defiant and oppositional when on them, just not violently aggressive. As far as history goes, There are mental health issues on my mothers side of the family and anger issues on his fathers side. He had no developmental delays but he is socially awkward. He has inappropriate behavior and doesn't seem to take cue's such as when someone is really annoyed or angry and wants him to stop touching them or get out of their personal space. [/QUOTE]
