Perhaps he is having withdrawal from the medication you gave him. This would make any emotional problems he already had even worse, because he would feel persecuted by your first giving and then withholding medication.

I think you'd better get a professional to evaluate your son. It may be he has problems you do not know how to handle. And often parents can make a kid's problem worse, just from misinterpreting what the problem is.

Please, get an outside opinion on your son's condition.

1- When a child has an emotional or behavioral problem, it can have a serious impact on their life at home and at school. And while some families seem to get help for their kids at an early stage, others wait until the situation is almost unbearable.
2- Does My Child Have an Emotional or Behavioral Disorder?
Among all the dilemmas facing a parent of a child with emotional or behavioral problems, the first question-whether the child's behavior is sufficiently different to require a comprehensive evaluation by professionals-may be the most troublesome of all. Even when a child exhibits negative behaviors, members of a family may not all agree on whether the behaviors are serious. For instance, children who have frequent, severe temper outbursts or who destroy toys may appear to have a serious problem to some parents, while others see the same behavior as asserting independence or showing leadership skills.
3- emotional and behavioral problems include : anxiety/depression, emotional withdrawal, and somatic complaints.

First of all, only take him off the drug with guidance. It is not worth risking the side effects.

Second, if you are not happy with the diagnosis or treatment, get a second, third, and however many opinions needed. You know your son better than anyone else. Sometimes other people, (even professionals), are wrong. Even though they are trying to help.

Check out some of these things.

SID, Sensory Integration Disorder
ODD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder
ADHD, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, (they always put the H in now)
PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Anxiety

Look for doctors, or specialists in your area. Search, the web. Ask other parents if they know of any places to go. Check with you local playgroups, and ask, ask, ask.. You will find someone who deals with these things. One thing that seems to separate that doctors that treat, is if they prescribe drugs, or therapies. Then, do they do both, or just one. It is better to do both. My daughter has been to several doctors, and finally now, she is in the correct place. She is in a floor time group, and is learning how to understand social cues, and how to make and keep friends.

Whatever you do, do not give up, until you are satisfied. There are a lot of books about it too. Dr Sears has books, (The High Need Child). He makes it easier to look at your child and have empathy, and understanding.

There are so many organizations too. Go to Wisconsin Family Ties. They will refer you to a lot of organizations, and then follow them up. 1-800-422-7145. They are the ones who got the ball rolling for me. Good luck

i think all these illnesses are lies, and doctors and professionals pull something, taking advantage of single parents especially and turning really competent adolescents into medicated zombies, while boosting the insurance payments, , i am not a professional, but i think anyone can see this to some degree,and what can the parents do, but to answer your question, withdraw yes, it is a problem consult a doctor, who you probably did not want to consult in the first place

Children often mimic the actions of the adults in their lives. Take a good hard look at the environment he's living in and make positive changes in your life. He'll follow suit.

A good psychologist who can help the family work through any past issues is an idea as well.

Stress can make any disorder worse. May it be Mental Emotional or physical. Stress is when you worry way too much about things that can be fix with a little effort on your own personal part.
Stress has been proven to cause serious health risks, such as heart disease, Endurance Problems, Fatigue, Emotional Imbalances, etc.
There are options to dealing stress and weight loss. Such as Detox plans and rejuvenation Plans, as the one I have enclosed.

I definitely stress that you consult your physician, about anything new or changes in your daily regimine. As this plan will affect other areas of your Daily living and Medications.

Please feel free to Copy and Print this to your own Blank Text and save it and print it out when you go to your DR again.


One month detox and rejuvenation plan

Step one: Detox: (week one)
a), Drink lots of water
b) lay off the sodas, beer, tea, coffee, etc
c) Basically go on a water fast(drink water only and no food), for 7days consecutively.
d)for even more detoxifying effects, maybe sit in a Sauna for about 20-30 minutes, twice during your 7day detox(once when during day two and once during day four), allowing your pores to open up and allow the toxins to come out.

Step two: Rejuvenate (Goes hand in hand with step one, done during the entire month and future days) (If you are under the age of 18 with a proper ID, You have to be accompanied by a parent to any Spa or Massage Clinic.)
Go to a spa, and enjoy a nice warm Mud Bath or a Bodywrap, Then a two hour Massage, starting with ROM Assessment/Joint therapy, to relieve any joint stress or tension, Then a Little Myofascial Stretching to give the skin and muscle a nice warming stretch, Then a slightly Vigorus Swedish to relax the muscles, Then a Little acupressure to relieve any trigger points, Then ending a soft Swedish to really relax those muscles. Then maybe get a nice salt scrub to really open your pores, and soften the skin. Then take a nice warm shower, rinse away any toxin that may have come to the surface, and excess oils from the salt scrub. Then rinse with cold water to tighten the pores and waken the bodys energies and chakras. Find a reiki practioner and get a session to help restart your chakras as you may have a few that need a boost.

Step Three: Exercise, (can be done during step one and two, and is incorporated into our lives forever til we die)

Try a Tai chi Class, Yoga, Pilates, Aerobics, or Jazzercise, Maybe take up swimming, or Ballrom Dancing.

Step four: Eat Proper ( this starts during week two and continues into our everyday lives)
Plan yourself a Healthy But tasty diet plan including and starting with:

Breakfast:
Minimum of 8oz glass of water at room temp each morning,
Followed by a 8oz glass of Freshly juiced Organic Fruit juice, 3 Apples, 2 slices of pineapple, 1 pear, and four carrots, this will give your body a Natural energetic boost.
Then followed by a warm bowl of Whole oat cereal.
No refined sugars, If you need sweet use honey, or maple syrup.

For Lunch:

eat a Nice veggie salad with vinegar and Oil dressing, Not Italian or any thing with dairy. Follow it with a warm Turkey or Chicken breast sandwich (skinless, and as little fat as possible if any all. Try to avoid any heavy meats Like beef or pork during the early moring or lunch times. Follow the sandwich with some watermelon or strawberries, or some kind of fresh fruit salad if you are a still hungry or just want a nice desert. Watermelon or any type of Melon will help to fill you up faster.
Drink water at a couple of degrees cooler than room tempurature.

consult with your family doctor or mental health clinic in your area --if you do not have a mental health doctor --look in the phone book or call information or even your child's school or church can recommend a good mental health doctor (psychiatry)Good luck

well the best thing to do is go see a doctor for him and see if maybe he is having problems with the medication he is on. have him checked again to see if they need to readjust his medication. maybe he needs to be off of it.
