I apologize if this question has come up before. We currently use Klonopin for our son's aggression. We only give it to him when he is having meltdowns. Just wondering if anyone has had success with Klonopin wafers and if so, how many mgs?

When I was around eight years old, I began to have anger issues. I had outbursts, would call people names, and would even hit others.
