[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 133429, member: 1233"] Sweetie, It really seems that his rages and violence are a dangerous thing, and becoming more so. Is it time to talk to his psychiatrist about a hospital stay? I am not suggesting this lightly. He seems so very unable to control. If it is weaning the prozac, then he may need to be treated with another medication before he is completely off of it. If it is the disease, he may need other medications. It just seems to be getting worse and worse. The times when he physcially hurts himself and continues to rage are scary. How long before he becomes even more physically harmful to you? Or to someonw else? Please go through the entire home and lock up EVERYTHING that can be used to cut, to stab, to wound, etc.... Household tools like hammers and nails, kitchen tools, everything. And what will happen when he discovers that the cleaners have an even worse smell, change the color of things, and make mommy scream in pain when he mixes them?? It is really really SUPER important to have several locks/barriers that YOU can't easily get undo. Please, if not now, then make a plan for when you need to get emergency help to get him to the hospital. psychiatric hospital for hurting you or himself, and also regular ER for this. It seems his violence is getting worse very rapidly, and I am worried. Has the doctor talked to you about the atypical antipsychotic medications? I know we had very good luck with risperdal given regularly AND as needed for the rages. HAs the abilify worke din the past to help with the violence? I cna't remember if it is an AP, or a mood stabilizer. Sending prayers and gently hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
