[QUOTE="maril, post: 214262, member: 5937"] difficult child is okay today and presently is at school. Whew!!! Omigosh -- when I logged on this morning and read all of your posts, I was so grateful. You are all so, so helpful and supportive. :thumbsup: I did not call his psychiatrist yet this morning. I want to collect my thoughts and be sure to clearly list my concerns and difficult children behavior. Thank you, susiestar! The information you gave addresses my concern that if there is possibly a missed diagnosis of bipolar, medications taken might be exacerbating that condition. I am also glad you made mention of mood stabilizers. Your son is lucky to have you as a mom. Just a note that difficult child started stimulants in middle school [I]but [/I]has had only a total of 6 months' time collectively on all four that have been tried. Out of the four stimulants that were tried, two were methylphenidates, in which he developed reactions of hallucinations with one and then rage with the other; each was quickly stopped by the doctor (maybe this is one of those red flags?) As far as his fourth and present stimulant Vyvanse goes, he is on a low dose and claims it helps him focus in school; however, he says it sometimes makes him feel hyped up and irritable. The generic Zoloft was just started about mid October (after being 302'd for trying to hurt himself/short stay at psychiatric hospital/discharged with diagnoses of ADHD, ODD, substance abuse; aftercare in place). I am not clear on this but think the generic Zoloft was started because of anxiety. Also, after his psychiatrist's instructions on recent visit to increase it to 100 mg, he continues to take it at 50 mg in the morning (except for one day out of the last nine since the visit). I will let the doctor know that. You are all great. Have a wonderful Friday, and here's to a peaceful and restful weekend. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
