My seven year old has many symptoms of tourettes and oCd and ADHD and anger and social issues that may be aspergers. What meds would work. Psychiatrist wants him on risperdal and Klonipin. He has been on so many stimulants and they make him worse. Tenex did nothing. Clonidine helps but he gets too tired. What do you think about klonipin? I gave it yesterday but he was awful. I had stopped the tenex and started the klonipin. I could barely stand him he was so crazy. Help...

Thanks for your understanding. After a couple disaster days of hyperness and anger on klonipin we are going to do the prozac 5 mg a day with the tennex and risperdal. The prozac takes longer to work which is why they wanted to do the klonipin first. He is so mean to his sisters especially the two year old. He likes to annoy them all and make them yell. He loves to irritate us all. He is oppositional and makes loud noises. I feel my nerves are being shot. I am short with everyone in the house. Having to yell constantly. It is very hard. I have four kids and they are being brought up by such a stressed out mom.
I just hope the new meds work. All my kids are suffering from his negative attention he is seeking. It is very hard to ignore the behaviors when they are so annoying and done with deliberance. My oldest is 13 and is really withdrawing from me because of he stuff she sees going on. We saw a psychologist who wanted me to give her a break from the house since she was unable to ignore my son's actions. She seems to like to confront him and this makes him worse. I can't see what good would come out of sending my 13 yr old away. Therapist are hard to find who know how to deal with aspergers and are on our insurance. The one we are seeing was the only one with ASD experience on our list and I have to drive an hour to her. She seems confused to me. One week she suggests one thing and then another the next week. Like week to week she can't remember what we were doing ignore or show him who is the boss. We are starting social group next week with another psych who is an hour away each direction. Maybe that will help him talk nicer to people?
Funny thing the school sees nothing of this. They see him as ADHD with fine motor delays. He does not act up there. He never gets mad and deosn't show his social issues. I find it hard to believe but I hear he same story every year. However, he does talk well to adults but I see it as very hyperfocused to his likes.
There is so much here to deal with meds, Dr's family and his behaviors and then school. I am so tired! How do you find the strength to continue to fight? I am feeling burned out.
