[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 427612, member: 3444"] Okay, so I'm laughing and kind of happy to know it's not just MY difficult child! :rofl: I know. It's a sick club we're all part of here. Misery loves company, ya know? Shari, difficult child 2 acted like he was on crack also at one point a few years ago when he was on stims and we didn't realize what was really going on... Seriously -- I think a lot of us have also felt like a lot of time was wasted in our difficult child's lives as we crawled our way down the road seeking services and supports. I've been on this path with my difficult child 2 since 2000, and it's only THIS year that I finally feel like we got a handle on the medications (as much as we can expect to), we've got him properly assessed, and he's getting the services and supports he needs. So despite the setbacks, delays, false starts, mistakes, and misunderstandings over the years, I figure he still has his entire life ahead of him and he's headed in the right direction. It may not be the path I thought he'd take, but he's on his way nonetheless. Tonight I opted to give him some short-acting Seroquel -- psychiatrist gave us 100mg tabs to keep on hand for times like this. Don't know why I didn't think of it a few days ago. If this continues next week I'm going to ask them to call in orders for a blood draw to check his Depakote levels. easy child's about ready to pop him if things don't settle down soon. :-/ [/QUOTE]
