[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 471754, member: 8045"] Hi....my son has been diagnosed a few months ago....His anxiety was vey bad....the psychiatrist said to first put him on medications for his anxiety because that will make him a bit more 'flexible' and acceptable to other interventions like Occupational Therapist (OT) and social skill training. At first he did VERY bad on Risperdal, he became VERY aggitated and aggressive, switched to Tofrinal...made him vomit and gave him musscle cramps. Then she put him on Cyprelex, a new type of SSRI, antidepressant...has almost no side effects...he is so much better. The Occupational Therapist (OT), together with medications , more appropriate parenting skills and adjustments in class, worked wonders! We also got a spandex hammoc that he often uses to calm himself down, it gives him a 'womb space', with deep muscle pressure and also helps him to modulate his mood.....he is also allowed to chew hard bubble gum in class to help with modulation. Hang in there....I thought our lives has been turned upside down, but with good support and therapy live can actually gain some normallity again!!!! [/QUOTE]
