[QUOTE="xlagirl, post: 359342"] Hey Janet, Thanks for the advice. Yes, of course I would never start or stop medication without a doctor's order. I was only looking for advise and experiences from others in a similar situation. To everyone, I received a call from the psychiatric hospital just a little while ago and my son had started a fight with another kid in the ward and when the nurses/techs tried to break it up my difficult child went in to a full blown rage. They removed him from the area and put him in an observation room with staff, and they gave him medicine (benedryl) for sedation which they said didn't work at all. He began attacking the staff and so they had to put him in an isolation room by himself until he calmed down. This was the first time he had raged out of control since he entered the psychiatric hospital 5 days ago. Even though I am sorry that he went through that and sorry for the staff, I am glad that the psychiatric hospital got to see him in his true colors. This is how he is at home with us and until today, they hadn't seen much aggression. I feel that this should help the doctors and staff a better idea of what we are dealing with. I know it's horrible to say that, but I truley feel that now they will help him better. I sure hope that the stimulant or the newly added Depakote didn't have anything to do with triggering the rage. I think the stimulant may have been a problem all along. [/QUOTE]
