Please take your son back to his psychiatrist. His medication may need adjusting. At 14 y.o. his body is changing and the dose of them med may not be right. Also, please see that he takes his meds, even if you have to dispense them to him. Please look into support groups for parents/loved ones of those w/mental illness. Peace and good health.
