Will the anger and aggression come down?
human
Hi Doctor! My son, who is 17 years old, is been prescribed Oleanz 5 mg for his mood disorder. He is diagnozed with Aspergers too and was on Fluovoxomine 200 mg for 3 years now. The doctor has suspected mood disorder now and has reduced the Fluovoxomine from 200 to 100 and is now giving him Oleanz 5mg with Epilex Chrono 500 (2 times). He was on respiradone during last week but the doctor changed this to Oleanz this week because of his nose block side effect. My son is getting angry often for the past 4 or 5 days with the tendency to be unreasonable and agressive. There is a kind of desperation and helplessness in his eyes. I am worried. Are the mood disorder tablets causing this to him? Will these symptoms come down?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn asperger syndrome, impulsivity is part of illness and for that mood stabilizer like epilex chrono or oleanz is helpful. Usually medicine takes time to show response. May be due to shifting of medication, he is showing such kind of behavior. Better to carry on with same drug combination and that would help to control his symptoms. In case, these symptoms stay, that you can consult treating psychiatrist or to us. Thanks
