Hi TerrI!
I have a 12yr old boy who is very aggressive at times and we are still tring to work it all out! I recently put my son on fish oil, he's been on it for a month now due to a recent diagnoses of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (he has mulitable disabilities), but we haven't noticed any change as yet!
He's tried Dex for a while, they didn't do anything to help! He's on Risperdal to relax him to put to sleep, he take's Epilim and Lovan for his Epilepsy and still he's aggressive!
I don't know what the answer is, but just make thing's as safe as possible from your child and the rest of the family and a hot bath always calms my son down ( for 5 minutes anyway)!
We'r getting our son a safe play area inside and outside of our house because of reasons like this! It's in everyones best interest as we can't continue to be biten, pinched, slapped, kicked, hair pulled, attacked like a wild animal etc etc
Hope I was of some help!
Cheers!

I have a 13 yr. old who is very aggressive and has threatened to kill me,etc.He's on risperdal,clonodine,adderall,celexa and imipramin for wetting.His rages are unbelievable and I do get scared.He came from a woman who physically and sexually abused him and his sister when they were babies.She is bipolar but managable.He is a very loose cannon and I never know when he is going off.We don't travel or go very many places because of his behavior in public.His anger is awful.He used to ask me if he could cut me when he was little.I'm afraid now he won't ask. This is a very ugly situation and I haven't found anything that can defuse it.His dad and I fight constantly about placing him in a group home where he can get full time supervision.I spend most of the time with these kids since I quit my job.He's had so much trouble at school and I can't find a daycare that will take him. I worry about what will happen when he gets older.He doesn't seem to have a conscience.He ripped a leg off of a lizard and didn't feel bad at all. He has this really dark side that scares me. My husbqnd seems to think that I'm overreacting.I've had therapists tell me to be careful around him.Our doctor said to remove all the sharp things in my house for my own protection.I've had this boy since he was 2 1/2. I taught him how to talk. I'm trying to get him out of diapers.He has no friends because he is so aggressive and doesn't listen to anyone.His dad says it's our problem and not anyone elses. I'm starting to dread waking up because it's the same things every day. He lies,steals(banned from Walmart for theft),cusses and feels the world is his to destroy.He's destroying my house.I patched over 30 holes in his bedroom.He likes to hurt people. Anybody have any ideas on what my next move is?

Hi Cathy!
If I were you I'd go see another Doctor just to make sure your son is on all the right medications(because he is on alot) and that he has the right diagnoses! I feel for you guy's, obviously you and your husband are wonderful people!
Cheers!

Kim, I have been to so many doctors and now have the chief dr. of peds. We''ve been through so many meds. It's frustrating for us.We had another daily rage and it's so exhausting. I have my own health problems with autoimmune but I keep plugging away. These kids have so many psych problems because of the abuse from their bio mom. I pray for a miracle someday.
