[QUOTE="seriously, post: 432262, member: 11920"] Thanks for all the good vibes and well wishes. Things aren't going well and if they keep going in this direction he'll be back in the hospital soon. Yesterday afternoon was pretty good but he got more and more reactive time until by mid-evening he was trying to control everyone and melting down when that didn't work. Gave him his medications around 8:30 and he finally slept around 11 pm. Couldn't get him up this morning. He finally roused at 10:30 am but was so sedated he could barely stagger from his room to the bathroom. He finally really woke up around 1:30. He flipped in and out of being agitated, depressed and angry the rest of the day. It got bad tonight. He took his medications about 8 but then at 8:30 he wanted to go over to a neighbors house. We said NO. So he went outside and shot some hoops for 30 minutes. After he came back in he blew up because he decided his sister had used his razor. An hour after he got 100 mg Geodon, 1500 mg Depakote AND 2 mg Klonopin he was in the family room screaming at me, waving 2 identical razors around in the air, demanding that she be punished for using the razor and finally threw one of the razors down on the ground narrowly missing me. I don't think he was aiming for me but I wasn't going to ask. At 10:30 he was pacing, told us he wanted to use the computer in the morning before he went to school. Ok, this is not good. I stayed up to keep an eye on him. At 2 am he was still awake but looked very sedated. He said his brain would not stop. I called the phospital and talked to the night nurse about what it was safe to give him on top of all those medications. We decided benadryl was safe so I gave him 50 mg Benadryl and he konked out about 2:45 am. We'll let him sleep tomorrow. My wife is home so we can tag team spending time with him. That's what he needs right now - companionship and attention - but he doesn't always want it from us and we don't always have the freedom to give it. Keep the good vibes coming. [/QUOTE]
