We have been going back and forth. With our 25 year old son who is autistic, with aggressive behaviors. He was on respiradone and the doctor changed it to invega which worked for the first 7 days and then all hell broke loose whe. He started to become so hyperactive and was eating until he vomits. The doctor then changed him to sere quell which also did not work because of the side effect call ankathesia ( excuse the spelling) a state which he becomes like so hyper that he will not stay still⦠read more
Bring him to Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore Maryland. They take insurance. This is where my son goes and we live in Fairfax. It's an hour drive and well worth it. Kennedy Krieger is world renowned for its expertise in children's neurological disorders. My son is on meds now for aggression. If anyone can help your child it's this wonderful facility.
I have a 17 yr old daughter how also has been on many medications (seroquel, invega, focalin, strattera) which nothing works. I put her in an inpatient program which they tried an mood stabilizer (lithium extended release and clonindine). So far, I have seen improvements. One thing clonindine is for hyertense but have found it works for hyperactivity and anxiety.
For more information you can visit their website at www.kennedykrieger.org. Not sure about the age ranges. Good luck.
