[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 442777, member: 12227"] Have not had a chance to update here on what has been going on since I last posted. I did take my Daniel to the psychiatrist and I DID get his medications changed. He was kept on the Clonidine 0.1mg at night and the Depakote ER 500mg at night but what was added was Haldo 0.5mg and Lexapro 10mg. He takes the Lexapro in the morning with 1/2 tab of the Haldo and then a whole Haldo at night. Everyone, including Daniel has noticed a huge change in him. No more tears or screaming at me and no threats. That is the Good...except for the fact he is teasing David more because he is in such a good mood. Now for the bad. David had a very bad day with the therapist and she contacted psychiatrist who upped his Abilify...2.5 mg in am and 2.5 at night...he was on 2 mg at night. The bad is Mom did not give this child his medication tonight. He will get his Focalin XR and Celexa in the am but not the Abilify. I am checking something out. The reason why is the UGLY and oh my, it has been UGLY. I am wondering if he has been misdiagnosed with the ADHD because of the behaviors associated with Autism, and of course he is developmentally delayed. Where I was having problems with this little guy it has increased 100 fold since she upped his Abilify. He is in constant motion and constantly aggressive. Tonight while watching fireworks he was hitting me with a stick, screaming at me, calling me an idiot and threatening to kill me when he gets bigger. If his brother even looks at him funny I am hearing this high pitched scream that just goes through me like a knife. He was exhausted when we got home tonight at 9:30 because he has been non stop since 7:30 this am. Without giving him the Abilify I want to see if there is any slowing down. It seems as though stimulants for ADHD are just really stimulating him when they should have the opposite effect. Lord, I am just exhausted with this child today. Please give me patience with him tomorrow.:hangin: [/QUOTE]
