[QUOTE="branbran, post: 84292, member: 3762"] I got a call from my daughter today, she explained to me that she was taken off her Geodon and Concerta and now will be given a sleeping pill at night. WHAT??? First of all, how dare her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) make that decision without my knowledge nor consent!!! Secondly, what kind of sense does that make??? No treatment for her BiPolar (BP) or ADHD, just pills to make her sleep!!! One of her symptoms of the BiPolar (BP) is inability to sleep. Wouldn't you think the logical thing to do is treat the BiPolar (BP) and she'll be able to sleep at night. I mean, just a thought. To me that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!!! Not to mention, I wasn't even aware of these changes. By law, I am supposed to give my consent regarding any medication changes.
