Have you taken him to a neuropsychiatrist? Or the behavioral specialists? He may need a different or additional med. He needs a thorough evaluation.

I remember being very over-reactive to others and to very minor issues. I was miserable inside. I was the same age.

It sounds like he is having seizure like events.

Sports medicine doctors who work with concussion often are more focused on getting an athlete back in the game. He needs more help than the sports doc can provide.

At his age, his brain and body are going through some serious changes, hormonally and else wise. He needs help getting through this time.

As nightnurse said, he needs time off from school. It will be much better for him to get better then catch up than to do mediocre work and be at risk for behavioral issues.

He may even benefit from a stay in a comprehensive rehab hospital/center with all of the disciplines of care. A team approach to his care may do wonders. The availability to quick acting meds may also be important.

I say this because I remember how volatile I was during this time. My family was moving from New Hampshire to San Jose with 6 kids including a 6 month old and a 30 month old. I was very close to going over the edge. I don't know how we all made it through that time. My mother has commented how my personality changed drastically. I was 12.

I hope you can find the help he needs.

My best to your whole family.
