Hi Mary,

My heart goes out to you for what you are experiencing. A couple of thoughts.

Have you read the book, the explosive child by Ross Greene? Alot of parents swear it has been helpful but of course, your mileage may vary.

As as the meds, I am not medical professional but the drugs you have mentioned are antipsychotics which obviously are not minor league medications. Personally, I would want to know the psychiatrist’s reasoning for prescribing those drugs vs. maybe trying another antidepressant. There may be a very valid reason such as the diagnosis warrants it or there is concern because of your son’s reaction to Paxil that would rule out other antidepressants. But I would ask alot of questions until you were comfortable with the decision no matter which way it went.

Good luck.
