How Can Mood Swings And Aggressive Behaviour In A Child Be Treated?
My son recently started taking Invega for mood swings about a month ago. He has had 3 episodes of anger, yelling and throwing things over last week or so. He started on low dose of 3 mg per day. Shouldn t he have his dosage upped to 6mg a day or another mood stabilizer added to his meds?
