We're on the medication roller coaster again. Several Months ago I got fed up with the whole confusing issue but under pressure from school staff -- I can't beleive I caved -- we are revisiting some therapies we had tried before.
Difference this time is we are trying Zyprexa on its own. Last time we tried it we were also on Concerta (the ADD med) at the same time. Two different docs had prescribed them separately and they might have been counterproductive in combination.
Main thing we are trying to treat is aggression and oppositional-defiance. Jonah always seems to be in fight or flight mode lately. Any frustration or anxiety sets him off and all rational thinking shuts down.
We are also seeing an OT who works on him trying to get his body to calm down a bit.
I was just wondering if anybody had any experience with this particular medicine.
