[QUOTE="Steely, post: 120634, member: 3301"] OMG, I am praying for you guys!!! I feel so horrible for K, and I just cannot imagine how a doctor is not jumping through hoops to help you. I mean, it just baffles me. How can a psychiatrist be so complacent, as to not pull out all the stops when a child suffers like K? :furious: Makes me momma bear mad. It seems like you have tried all of the "new" medications - it makes me wonder if some of the old school medications might be worth a whirl. Of course, Lithium, which we have talked about before - but there are also some old school APs, and ADs out there, that can be beneficial. When Matthew was that age, he was on Elavil, which actually helped take the edge off everything. He was also on Mellaril, which is now black boxed, but was THE best medication for him, hands down, ever!!! It was like he could think again. At this point, I think I would talk to the psychiatrists about trying some of the medications that are not so main stream, since she is obviously not tolerating the new, more trendier medications. You know the new medications have only been around 6-8 years.......ten years ago........the psychiatrists still had to use things like Stellazine and Thorazine.......which have "such a bad rap" now, for whatever reason........but had helped millions of people before. So, will this current psychiatrist see K until you move? Will he hospital her if she needs it for her safety? I think you need some sort of emergency, contigency plan for the medication wash. As always..........BIG hugs, and mucho cyber strength sent your way. [/QUOTE]
