This is two weeks in a row we have had to increase difficult child's Loxapine. Right now we are supposed to be calling psychiatrist every Monday (he's going to get tired of hearing from us).
The goal, of course, is getting him to be stable. He is doing well at school-no major discipline problems to speak of-definitely not your ordinary kid but good for him. At home he has some good times but things are rough and about once or twice a week he is still getting violent. Poor easy child, yesterday he was so mad at her for absolutely no reason (she had just given him a compliment)and he threw the apple pie she and I had made on the floor-good thing it was half gone.
I'm feeling rather worn out and hoping this latest increase (started today) will help out and be the last one needed (at least for awhile). I don't want to have to keep increasing his medications. I just want some semblance of stability at home, a little bit of peace would be nice!
Thanks for listening, just feeling rather frustrated tonight (and that's with difficult child having a good night for him).
