[quote=Anonymous]My son is almost 15 years old with partial trisomy 8.  He is severely disabled with both physical & mental impairments.  He is non-verbal, GT dependent, diaper dependent, etc.  He began having aggression & rages 15 months ago.  They have continued to escalate out of control.  He is aggressive towards caregivers, siblings & self-abusive for the majority of the day.  We have been working with a psychiatrist & the anti-anxiety & anti-depressant meds have not worked.  In fact, he has exhibited more aggression with some of these meds.  We have lost 2 out of 3 of his nurses & now have him home from school - my husband is working from home to help me care for him safely.

I am curious if anyone has a case like ours.  I have asked to have a discussion with our psych team about anti-psychotics, specifically Abilify.  My research proves to be encouraging & frightening all at the same time.  Bottom line, like I am sure all of you - we want to help him feel calmer & more stable throughout a day, thus improving his life & our home life of those who love & care for him.  Thanks for anything you can share! ~ jk[/quote]
