I haven't posted a lot lately, either my own threads or response to others because wee difficult child has been very, very "off" for a month or longer.
I would say he qualifies as manic. Even sleep patterns have changed.
A few times, we have had to use our emerency PRN medication to knock him down. Except we are finding that its not working. When he's like this, the sedatives aren't even phasing him - what normally knocks him out for 14 hours at a time doesn't even slow him down.
Anyone else experienced this? Is it indicative of anything?
Also, kinda along these lines, I've heard of SPECT scans. My mom has run into a clinic that uses the SPECT scans to determine what parts of the brain are "running too hot" and what parts aren't. They don't diagnosis from it, but they do use it when thinking thru medication combinations. Has anyone heard of this? It actually makes some sense, but then again, i'm desperate for answers and help, so...
