Hey everybody! My name is Angie, I'm the mother of two. The oldest is a thirteen year-old girl (normal) and a 12 year-old autistic boy. Our son has been on a host of meds since he was 6. We've tried risperdal, tenex, inderal, abilify, strattera etc. Right now he's on inderal (160 mg.) and abilify (2 mg.) a day. He's at least 5' 3" and weighs around 220 lbs.! and, he's prone to rages. Very hard to handle anymore and becoming a problem at school. My question is does anyone here have the same problems with their child and beginning puberty and all that good stuff! Please let me know if you've tried any other meds that might work better. Thanks so much for your time. Angie
