9 yr Old Son Scares ME and Family

[MommieOfFour]

My son is "possoble Bipolar" according to his Dr.s. He acts out constantly and is uncontrolable. He is always fighting in school. just recently I got a call from the Vice Princable and he has a tape of my son jumping on another kid and beating the heck out of him. They couldn't even count the time my son punched him because his arms were going so fast. My son will always lie. He says they started it or they did this. It is not just at school but at home as well. I have 3 other children all girls. They are in fear that he will beat them up. He will walk by them and hit them for no reason.  Then when ever he gets in trouble for his actions; i usually take his favorite things away or ground him to his room; he will srceam like someone is killing him and shout things like "i don't want to live here, no one cares about me, I hate you all" It hurts alot. after about an hour of this he will finally calm down then say he is sorry and that he wont do it again. His father and I divorced when he was 3 months old and we both are remarried and have been with our respective spouces since the time we divorced. His doctors have him on several meds that are always being changed every 6 months or so to try to find something that will help. right now he is on Adderal, Strattera, Abilify, Risperdal, and Clonidine. My sone has been this way sine the age of 2 and has progressivly gotten worse. I need help! I don't want to see him wove in with his father but I can't let him hurt me and my family anymore. I truly believe the drs are missing something but they dont seem to listen to me or want to hear what I say. I live in a rual community and we have limited resources for this kind of thing. Please help!

I have just googled the meds you said your son is taking it would be a good thing if you did the same and made your own mind up, you could print out and ask your Doctor about them, I am still pretty certain one or more of these Meds are the cause of his aggression. Good Luck I hope he gets some help

Wow thats a big lot of powerful meds he is on, all I can say is please take him back to his prescribing Doctor and ask about them and the dosage he is on, in my opinion this is where the problem lies ,Risperdal has been known to be the cause of aggression, google it for information.
