[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 264731, member: 3444"] If you've only tried one AP, I wouldn't give up on medications yet. What about Abilify? Zyprexa? Seroquel (which supposedly works a bit differently than the others)? How far did he push the dosing? Is this the only psychiatrist who's seen him? Have you considered a second opinion? I guess I just would have a hard time accepting "no" or "we can't do anything more" as an answer when there are so many options for treatment out there. I could be way off here, too. I haven't walked in your shoes or had to deal with anything close to the kinds of behaviors you've dealt with. My difficult child 2, who has been the most complex of my three, has seen no less than five different mental health providers in the past two years to try to sort out what's going on. He's tried at least 17 different medications in the past five years and we are only now finally seeing decent stability. And it's still far from perfect. I guess I'm just trying to offer you hope and encouragement to keep pushing for answers. [/QUOTE]
