wrongley prescribed medication

 i was sitting here thinking about my eldest son and the awfull time that we went through with him when the wrong medicatiopn was prescribed to him , we found  that he would get realy upset easy and angry  and would make silly decisions the things that he would

do  were just wrong so i took him to a dr who sent us to a mental health centre there they  diagnosed him with  a personality disorder   we were shocked, we were given a script for   epilim and told that he was to take  this medication  every day   it was around  aweek and a halfe that we things were not wright , and the day things started to go wrong was awful the slightest thing would set him off he would punch walls  shake ,  he was uncontrolable,   everyday you would worry that nothing send him off , on the first bad occasion  he was upset over something small he started to shake his eyes went funny he made an awfull noise then exploded he smashed his bedroom window with his fist punched holes in the wall  he would get  something and cut himself on the arms his chest, then he would fall to the ground and have a fit it was the worst thing that i have ever  seen all i could do was hold him till he stoped  shaking he would fall asleep when he woke after haveing quiet a few of these eppisodes i would have cleaned up what i could as it upset him so much as he didn't rember anything  the last time this happened he woke with cuts on himself and his room trashed he sat up looked around and cried and beged me mum please help me what is wrong with me that devistated me as i didnt know i   could not find anyone that had answers so i said to my son that  i no longer wanted him taking  the medication together we flushed the  tablets down the toilet  within a couple of days the diffrence in my son was amazing there was no more self harm no more police or ambulances  called to my home i eventually took him to another specialist who ran tests and ct scans  we now know that he has a cyst on the front part of his brain  that effects his  behaviour  and his mood the tablets should never have been given to him as  the outcome could have been  much worse  if the   first dr we saw ran more  tests all this could have been avoided  he is now under another dr and it has been great  he has to decied if he wants to have an opperation to remove the cyst or not but there is complications so that will be his decision  i am just glad that i had the sence to get rid of the medication i just wished i did it sooner
