[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 166494"] Thank you all so much. It is so helpful for me to come here and tell you all what is going on and have people understand. smallworld, I think psychiatrist is tackling one medication at a time for now. He had actually taken difficult child off of the prozac when he was inpatient in March. When difficult child was moved in April to the state facility, the psychiatrist there put him back on it. When psychiatrist seen difficult child last it was 2 weeks after discharge. He said last night he doesn't agree with medications, but needs to adjust them slowly. He works closely with the psychiatrist that will be taking care of difficult child when he goes in (not the same psychiatrist as acute). psychiatrist wants an update in 48 hours, I don't know what he will do then. bran, at this point there isn't many options until he can go in there - he doesn't qualify for any services. I don't know, maybe psychiatrist will determine he is a harm to others (duh!) then perhaps it would be enough to get him admitted to acute - but then they only admit through the ER. I don't know. He did up the anti-anxiety medication last night so we will see what that does, maybe with the increased dose he will be groggy until his body gets used to it and that might be enough. I really don't know. All I know is he needs help, it scares me to have him at home. I worry for him and his sister. Right now during the day I am taking him to Boys and Girls Club during the day - at least there is some supervision there versus leaving him at home with his sister all day.
