[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 162624, member: 1680"] Hi there, I have not been on in a long while but I HAD to take a moment to give you support. We are in NC also and we had to hospitalize our son on March 6th. It was for severe impulisivity. Totally out of control (not violent, but extremely dangerous.) It was by far the WORST day in my life and believe me we have had many horrible days. He stayed in-patient for 1 week and then in out-patient (8am-4pm week days) for 2 weeks. I have to say (knock on wood) it was very helpful for him. He was also 6 at the time and did not like being there but learned a lot about control and we were able to trial medicines in the safety of the hospital. He has had bad reactions to countless medications. My son also took tenex for a long while, stopped way before hospitalization. We tried it again to prevent hosptializing but it made him ANGRY every time we trialed it. I kept telling the first dr. and he just said to keep upping it. With every upping he was angrier, nastier and more unhappy. The second dr (current) listened and saw for himself. This psychiatrist felt it was good for my son to understand there are consequences when you are out of control (even if you can't help it). He felt it was helpful for others to observe his behaviors and reactions and like I said to trial medications more safely. I hope, pray, wish, cross my fingers and toes, etc etc that I will never have to do it again, but I know it was the right thing and he is doing so much better now. Keep strong and remember what may stink for us may be the best for him. Bugsy's mom [/QUOTE]
