my son is 17 yrs. old and was started on klonopin 6 months ago. he takes it only once in a while. when he does not take it, he gets very moody, sad, and even violent at times. this morning, he admitted to me that he has not been taking his pills for the past 6 days, and his anger is coming out again. i am sometimes scared of my own son. he makes life here for the rest of us intolerable to live with and we all walk around on egg shells--trying to keep out of his way. at other times, he is a great kid--does what he is told, gets great grades, and holds a job. does anyone know what can happen if he refuses to continue taking his pills? i can't kick him out, he is a junior in high school and he is not working right now. i'm scared that he might hurt himself, or one of us in his anger outbursts. last week, he threw a kitchen knife at me, said he was not aiming it at me, but it nearly hit me. again, he had not taken his meds. does anyone have any ideas or answers for me?
