[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 259680, member: 393"] [COLOR=Navy][SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]As kt was taking her medications tonight, she put her box for today away & got tomorrows medication box out for in the morning. She was talking a blue streak ( a bit manic or anxious) & before I could stop her she took her morning dose of medications as well. I called Poison Control because our local children's hospital would have had me bring her in for observation....I just know that hospital. Saying that, the Poison Control Center asked what doses of what kt took, her age & did she take her medications for epilepsy or for "behaviorial issues". Ladies, I about blew a gasket (I'm maybe a tiny bit sensitive of late), and I had to stop this gentleman in his tracks & explain that tegretol, seroquel & topamax is generally not given for "behaviorial issues" but for a mood disorder or bipolar. Very few psychiatrists hand out this level of medication for unwanted behaviors ~ it's a bit overkill. He might want to get that straight as it might confuse other parents as to their child's treatment plan. I repeated clearly "mood disorder or bipolar". My daughter might have been dying of an overdose & I had to straighten this guy out. Geez......what a putz! I've spent the majority of the night checking in on kt ~ making sure she wasn't too sedated & her breathing is strong (it is). I should be heading off to bed but it's a tad late, so I'll nap my way thru tomorrow. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
