I had to give it to him. He started getting irrationally angry again and I was worried he was going to start hurting someone. He has had his best year at school ever and I can't risk jeopardizing that. There are no lower doses and it is a capsule so I can't break it. I can't deal with the rages again. Not when I know I can just give him his Effexor and make them go away. This was worse than distressing. He gets scary when he is that angry and at 126 pounds, he worries me.

I will see if maybe we can take him off while starting Abilify if it ever gets approved. I keep checking Health Canada's website but so far, no luck.

Matthew did better at school with Biphentin but he couldn't sleep at night and the bags under his eyes by Thursday morning were so bad I stopped giving it to him too.

So we are 0 for 2 on the med front.
