[QUOTE="keista, post: 430385, member: 11965"] yay. We actually got through without a serious episode today. I was on eggshells all evening, and then I realized bed time was an hour later on weekends! UHG. At 9, it seemed like creepy was trying to creep out. DD1 was getting a bit oppositional about her bed time - she RARELY does that, but it seemed like it was half her and half 'creepy', or maybe even switching back and forth really fast? or maybe "playing" me? Anyway, I chose not to pick that battle, and even though she was shooting for 10, she crashed a 9:30 WITHOUT melatonin. Might try cutting that out since I've read it can cause/exacerbate mental health issues during the day. She had started it in the first place because even though original medications were helping with depression symptoms during the day, she'd still have intrusive and obsessive thoughts once her head hit the pillow. It would take her hours to fall asleep no matter what time she went to bed. Hound dog, it's not like she doesn't remember anything at all. It kind of like remembering a dream. Fuzzy around the edges. Your story sounds a lot more like the partial brain seizures I read about. Again, DD1 kinda fits the description, but not quite. She's coherent and "logical", and gross motor looks perfectly fine. However, tone and timbre of her voice change, speech and language pattern changes from her norm, and of course the eye thing. I will be exploring the possibility of seizures as well as anything else I can think of. Got an "emergency" appointment with her psychiatrist on Monday. Talked to nurse about emergency psychiatric hospital protocol. I was distressed to find out that if I do have to get her down there this weekend, they won't even contact her psychiatrist until discharge. WTH????? Really????? On the bright side, It's all the same organization so they should have access to her files - I hope. Unless included in the files are several notations saying "by the way Mom's crazy as a loon!"
