[QUOTE="Jena, post: 217875, member: 4514"] klmno good morning :) The doctor actually offered up lithium, yet we were trying to stick with a medication that would require little monitoring and blood draws, etc. smallworld is the one who suggested go back to seroquel for difficult child. So, i went and suggested it. so, thanks smallworld because we have seen such huge improvements past mos. or so. yet now as you can see the medication has reached it's full potential at this dosage, even though i just increased 6 days ago. I have a therapist for difficult child. She has been seeing her now, weekly. I"m not quite sure what i think of her yet to be quite honest. She's highly disorganized, takes her food deliveries in while we are in session lol. Yet believe it or not it creates a more "natural, calm" atmosphere with her behaviors I have seen. yet she put us on a chart, behavior mod chart that I haven't started yet. We are also going to work on teaching difficult child relaxation techniques yet again. WE tried this for years with bio feed back machines, etc. i can relax cd's at bedtime, etc. yet as i tried to explain to the therapist when she's "out" there aint nothing but a medication going to get her down to be honest. I tried to tell her as well, it's gotta be "combined" effort here. I want difficult child to learn to take responsiblity for her illness, we haven't told her what that is just yet. We have explained anxiety disorder, and she knows she has major sleep issues, and anger and alot of moodiness. One step at a time I say. I have to feed it to her in small doses so as not to overwhelm her and give her a "poor me" attitude. This morning she was looking horrible, she'll look peeked and carppy yet she'll be awake and raring to go. Yet a few times she said "well since i was horrified last night by what was going on with me i think i should have the day off". LOL. I said, no way, your going to school where you belong to learn, talk to your friends and get thru the day. I feel it is extremely important that "mental health" days for her are not allowed. I feel we have to continue moving through our days, and stick as close to the routine as possible especially after nights like last night. Life isn't going to "hold" for her on these days when she gets older. I want her to be strong.
