I have requested behavioral logs from the school where they are tracking my son's activities. This week he had a short period where he did math but otherwise, paced in class, slept in class, muttered endlessly and lashed out aggressively about 4 times. At home, I saw very short glimmers of real interaction but mostly pacing, muttering and a couple of meltdowns. Yesterday evening was particularly bad and included two situations in which he needed to be confined to his room and when inside he banged on the door and tore up paper, screamed and squealed. The subject of the anger was the now notorious teacher's aide.
WARNING: Amateur Pharmacological Assessment follows
He's been on the Geodon for about 2 weeks now. I worry that although the sedating effect is helpful if the aggressive outbreaks are a result of it reaching some sort of steady state in his bloodstream. His behaviors are similar to what happened with other anti-psychotics. I also wonder if the glimmers of interaction are a result of the Fluvoxamine. This is all "gut" feeling-based. In light of this, though, I wonder if we ought to drop the Geodon and increase the Fluvoxamine to the next dosage level (50mg?)
