[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 489214, member: 3184"] So psychiatrist and other meeting went pretty well. psychiatrist said that therapist said that I had some concerns about difficult child's medication changes. Yep. I told her that medication dosages had been changed and I had not been notified. She said that she usually did not notify parents of medication dose changes, only if medications (new) were started or stopped. Ok, I have to give a little too, so as long as I am notified of new medications or the stopping of medications, I will go with that. psychiatrist is adding tenex for a week, and then will evaluate how difficult child is and then will taper the seroquel and take him off as long as he is doing well on tenex. She wants to wait on tapering down the seroquel as she only wants to do 1 medication change at a time, and I agree with that theory. I don't know that the tenex will work, but he has never been on that class of medication so we will see. He sees psychiatrist again Monday, so by then I would think we should know if the tenex is working. I think tenex is a pretty quick acting medication, correct me if I am wrong. therapist was unable to make the meeting, so her supervisor came. I brought up my concern about the house revolving around difficult child. She brought up the point that if he is primarily Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), then we need to know so we can have the accurate expectations. They are doing more testing next week that should show that, not sure what, but that is what I am told. I did bring up the fact that he will be in high school next year, and he needs to learn how to get along in the world. At the advice of several other experienced warrior moms, I think I do need to back off a bit, to not be so enmeshed in difficult child's treatment. I will go up again Saturday as that was planned, and Monday and then on Christmas, but after that, depending on how difficult child does? I may only go up every other weekend. It is so tiring to drive up there and back in one day. Once the first hits I can access my flex spending acct and that will help as I can get reimbursed mileage and part of a hotel cost, so that way I can afford to stay overnight every so often. That would be so nice. Thank you all for your comments and support. It really does help. [/QUOTE]
