This is all great information. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I'm definitely wondering if the ADHD meds are part of the problem. And now, he says the Risperdone hasn't taken the voice away but instead he's now hearing a noise like a TV is on. I'm so confused. I'd like to take him off all the meds and see what happens, but he is unable to get along in school without them and would get kicked out (private school). I do know, however, that he had issues before the meds. I can remember him saying suicidal things as early as 6 y/o, and even before that he would go into long rampages destroying his room, hitting himself against the wall, attacking his sister, etc.
Again, I'm rambling and thinking out loud. And I feel bad because it sounds like he is just a nightmare, but he's not. He has a lot of wonderful things about him as well. He just believes that less and less because the voice tells him all these negative things. I"m off to look at all the resources behind the link and see how I might introduce him to some of this info. THANK YOU!!!!
