Ill start from the beginning my son was born a month early after two months of going into labor every week. My son would not let me hold him very much he would just stiffen up in my arms. I had a 1 yr old at the time and he was completely different. As a newborn he wanted to sit in his car seat to sleep he would be up all night from 10-7 in the morning. He would cry I could never console him. He got older and became very hyper active. He wasn't just full of energy but he will hurt my other kids not always on purpose. He is so emotional and will get mad at a drop of a dime. He will throw toys destroy a solid oak wood dresser move his full size bed across the room poop and pee all over his clothes. He will break toys soon as I give them to him. He loves to destroy everything in my house. He has a older brother but soon as he gets mad at him hell throw toys at him punch him and run off crying. I ask him why hes acting this way and he just says I dont know. Well now hes three and has been on clonidine for add for a year. Im so worried about the side effects of this medicine I just don't know what to do. Mine and my husbands family say they have never seen a child act that way. He also gets obsessive over things if he wants a drink he will not quit repeating himself and get himself in a emotional heaval. That is with anything he wants or if your busy he wants your attention then. We've tried everything and I want him to have a good life and be able to relate with other children. He has always been different since he was born and I didn't do anything different during my other pregnancies except take the drug trimodal to to stop labor for 2 months. The doctor prescribed it. Hes got super energy he can go with out sleep. The doctor told me that she didn't want to diagnose him with adhd because that's not related with aggression. She thought it could be bi - polar. but she wanted to wait till he was older to decided. My son also has no fear also. Im afraid hes going to hurt himself. Has anyone had these experiences and what did you do to help. His meds do nothing but make his sleep for a couple hrs a night. They tried ritalin and it didn't do anything but make him super emotional. Any Advice
