Your son may like his pdoc, but it sure sounds like you don't. These decisions are too complex to make w/o the guidance of a GOOD pdoc. If you feel that you don't have a good pdoc (and I suspect that's what you'd say since you think that he's overmedicating your child) you need to find one. At least for a 2nd opinon.
How long has your son been on a lower dose of Zyprexa? Is it possible that his current probs are b/c of too low of a dose? Or are they remaining probs left over from too much Zyprexa? Or are they w/drawal from the Zoloft? I don't know that much abt Zoloft personally, but some SSRI's have awful w/drawal and so you have to go ultra slow to get off of them.
I know you just care abt your son. But please do find a pdoc that you trust and that can work WITH you.
Best,
EE
