[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 158930, member: 3068"] Thanks for your responses. We've tried CBT and he doesn't see the need for it. He feels he was wasting his time. One doctor did tell me that, unfortunately, most kids like difficult child, won't get any benefit from it until they click with the right therapist. I tend to agree with that because I have seen it with psychiatrists. He really clicked with the one at the hospital between Nov. and Jan. He made great strides with her. difficult child even asked if she could be his regular psychiatrist. She was willing to take him on but she has a waiting list. In Jan. she told us probably sometime in March she'd have an opening for him. In Mar. we were told that now it looks like June. It's frustrating. He had the Trazadone in the hospital to help him sleep or if he needed to calm down. When he came home, it was used the same way until he became too tired to wake up. He'd be in such a deep sleep that it was stopped. We have tried melatonin and it didn't help. Now he's back on the Trazadone at night for the anxiety. This makes it harder again to get him going. He even has a late start time for school in his IEP and he still doesn't make it on time. The doctor is saying no to an antianxiety/antidepressant because he feels it will cause mania. The time he was on it, there wasn't any problem but the doctor tells me that he wasn't on it long enough to say it wouldn't cause it. He refuses to let him try it and see. Even the dr that difficult child liked in the hospital refused to use it also. Seroquel is one medication that he has not been on. I will definitely talk to the doctor about it. [/QUOTE]
