My son has changed some since he is getting older, so he can tell me what is bothering him more than before. He may get angry with me but he's over it very soon after, his twin sister ... |

| My son was on welbutrin for a while, cause even though he was about 9yrs.old he would talk alot about death or would get upset easily. I hope we on the right road now but i still wonder if we should do something different. |
