[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 105685, member: 211"] UPDATE!! What a great experience! The new psychiatrist was unaware of Aly being out of medications, said if she had been in the office she would have ok'd a few till today! Anyways, a few new things: Aly's liver enzymes were high, I guess both the Depakoke and the Trileptal can affect that. So, she wants her to be back on all current medications for 2 weeks then do a repeat blood test. Most likely will end up with some major medication changes if it is still high. Her Thyroid was once again too low, wants to refer her to an Endocrinologist (sp?) is what I think she said. Concerned that her Thyroxine is up to 50mg and she is still testing low. Wants her to have an EKG, guess the Abilify can affect the heart. She has a heart murmur that she has had since birth, but she has not had it rechecked since she was an infant. Concerned that she went into so many seizures after just 5 days of being off the Trileptal, wants a new referral to a Neurologist. Lastly, she was very concerned that Aly's school progress has actually regressed and she is testing lower than she did in 1st grade, she is now in 5th grade. She is referring us to Regional Center services for further studies and services. So, once I pick up the refill of Trileptal, hopefully things will quiet down a bit, till all the new appts are set up that is!! All in all I think it was a good visit, I felt heard, Aly spoke up about how anxious she is and how much the seizures scare her. Thanks everyone for being here, as always!! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
