[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 611873, member: 455"] Confused something stood out to me on your post, a simple word, "popcorn". The reason is because my son mr busy has a corn allergy which makes him angry/violent and will rage. Corn and it's derivative is in so many foods. Clonidine will not help this. In fact we found most medications would not. Although after so many years (he is about to turn 15) Xyprexa instant melts will suppress it within about 20 minutes to a duller roar for a bit but sometimes can also have a rebound effect too. Have you ever thought about getting him tested for food allegies? I will warn you that a lot of allergist won't hear you when you speak about behavioral reactions but there are a small few who will. That won't matter so long as they will at least do the testing, and they will if you just simply ask for it. Another way you can do this testing on a different level at home before you get the actual proof from a doctor is to try this: give him a lollipop. It's pure corn syrup! Wait about 20 minutes and then try asking him something he objects to and see his reaction. See if he does the raging and stuff. I have not only my son but my oldest daughter who had the allergy although she was able to out grow hers by the time she was 11. I think hers was at a far lower level and she could ingest more then he can. His is severe and his body can not tolerate ANY kind or derivative of it.
