[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 180739, member: 1233"] Another mom who has made HORRIBLE medication mistakes chiming in to say "Stop beating yourself up - you are human!". My mistakes were with MY medications, but I still felt dumb. Knowing that the higher level helped could be good info. Just because it LOOKS like ADHD doesn't mean it is. With some kids it is a sign of a different disorder and a high level of mood stabilizer might help. I am quite sure psychiatrist has seen worse, if she has been in practice very long. It isn't like you got your child diagnosed so that you could take all his medications for yourself to get high!!! I know a parent who did that. I also knew one who refused to send medications when it was dad's weekend so she could double him up on her weekend - then he would sleep all weekend and she could party with-her boyfriend. Sadly, this is NOT uncommon. What you did was just a mistake. And it might help in the future. Hey, Tollhouse Cookies were a mistake - the lady forgot to melt the chocolate and stir it in, so she thought it would just melt in the oven. Look how that turned out! [/QUOTE]
