after I couldn't control his behavior. The doctor wanted me to call the police, but there was no way I was going to call the police on a 9 year old. By the time we got to ER I understand why the police should have taken him. He was trying to get out of my car while driving. He was kicking me. I'm thankful we didn't get into a car accident.
My son was screaming, knocking over furniture, took my Pam spray and sprayed all over my kitchen while I was getting dressed. I tried to restrain him, but he decided he was going to try breaking my foot again and slammed his heel right where I broke my foot.
The ER doctor called for a Psy. consult and the nurse and social worker decided he wasn't a threat to himself nor anyone else, so they wouldn't admit him. I started crying and asked what am I suppose to do with him?
Their advice is take him off Concerta (an ADHD med.), because it is a stimulate and Alex's anxiety level is high due to a pending divorce between dad and I, he has mild OCD, and has a LD. Stimulates cause more anxiety, which will cause the behavior problems. Makes sense to me.
Alex has an appt. with the behavior couselor on Wednesday and I plan to take Alex to a different doctor. Hopfully things start to get better soon.
