[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 442757, member: 1233"] You have gotten great advice. It sounds like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) to me, at least as much as other things, but that is at a distance and with-o experience living with someone with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). I would urge you to stop the zoloft. It is an odd medication. About six years ago my difficult child had been on it for about 9 months. At first it was great. Wiz is unipolar depressive with NO manic symptoms and actually has needed three different types of antidepressants to stabilize the depression, but he is now a easy child almost completely. At the time he was aggressive and the zoloft seemed to help. But after a couple of months he got mroe and more aggressive and withdrawn. Stopped enjoying anything but his obsession (violent pokemon and d&d stuff - and only the violent stuff). Another couple of moms here with kids taht were a few years older were seeing the same thing, but only in their boys. I have seen it on six boys that I know in real life through family or school, none related to us. There were I think four here on the board including WIz where we all saw it at once. Years later (two years ago) my mother asked me about it. Gfgbro's doctor put him on it (he trades yard work for psychiatrist services) and he became even more aggressive and unpredictable and she wondered because she remembered me taking Wiz off for some specific reason. It just seems that after a few months, two or three, males can get more aggressive and depressed on zoloft. Luvox, closely related to prozac, and many others have NOT done that to him. This is, of course, anecdotal, but it is something to watch for. I don't know that many kids on medications so to know as many as I do who reacted that way to zoloft and they were all male, well, it is something to be considered, in my opinion. Abilify maybe a good choice. It can be very good for aggression. I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
