[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 625425, member: 1631"] My son trialed many medications over the years. It wasn't until he was in 7th grade and hospitalized 3 times in 3 months that they decided to trial a medication rarely used anymore. For us it has been a godsend. He is still a difficult child and always will be, however, the violence is almost completely gone. The medication he is on is Clozapine. The reason it is rarely used is it can cause white blood cell problems (I think that is it). For the first year and a half he had to have weekly blood draws. Even now he has monthly blood draws. He is on a national registry for people using this medication. The way our psychiatrist put it was that this was the "cadillac " of anti-psychotics at one time. However due to the small number of people who developed severe side effect it is rarely used. [/QUOTE]
