You need to talk to his Doctor and tell him or her exactly what you see your son going thru. I don't like it when a kid is on a med that strings him out.
My daughter was on meds 13 years ago. I couldn't stand it. I weaned her off myself. Maybe it was not the right thing to do but i could stand to see her zoned out all the time.
If you are feelin scared and uncomfortable, you are just doing your job as a mom. Talk to this Doc. If you are not happy with him, find another. You can go thru as many Docs as you want until you and your son are happy. Good luck.
