[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 129639, member: 2423"] I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now. Most hospital stays are short and just deal with the crisis at the time. There is generally work to be done (both medications and therapy) once the child is released. What did the psychiatric hospital recommend for follow-up for difficult child 1? You should also be aware that some of the medications take a while to kick in. Depakote takes 6 to 8 weeks at a therapeutic level for full efficacy. Is anyone monitoring your difficult child 1's Depakote blood levels to see if he's at a therapeutic dose? I hope things settle down soon. [/QUOTE]
