[QUOTE="klmno, post: 240927, member: 3699"] Hi, ML!! Thanks for your support!! I've been caught up in "system" drama and haven't looked around much at how others are doing, so I hope you are doing well. Steely, I have had some thoughts about myself being BiPolar (BP), too. LOL!! That would make difficult child happy, if nothing else! I understand what you mean about medications having the "rare" effects on our kids. psychiatrist has told me on more than one occassion "I don't see how it could effect him that way- the odds of that are soooo slim"- well, it did. And, psychiatrist is starting to leave more decisions up to me, I have noticed. I told him last week that we were never going to try an AD like we tried in Oct and like prozac again- ever- for the rest of difficult child's life and psychiatrist said "well, you're the boss". LOL!! I'm glad they finally put M back on his "regualr" medications and is showing improvement. I don't know why it took them so long. Is this upcoming visit the first you have seen him since he went in? I don't know if I could handle going that long. Yep- I'd be on the phone "meddling" in the treatment too! difficult child started on a very low dose of tegretol the first week of Jan. It was added and depakote er was removed. Of course, he's still on lithobid, and has been for about 18 mos. Anyway, at the time the tegretol was added, he was still on naltrexone (for self-harming). Aggression/violent threats greatly reduced after removal of depakote- and I was thrilled to get rid of depakote any for other reasons- but there were a couple of intermittent explosions.
