[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 149570, member: 1631"] Sharon and Linda-Thanks and I do hear what you are saying and agree. At this point the academics does take second place. He is out of control and we are all at the end of our ropes. Something does have to change soon because I am wearing down. We did meet with psychiatrist today. He gave us two choices. Hospitalization at the hospital in another city (about an hour away) or try one more medication increase at home (upping the Lamictal). We decided to give it one more try at home although I'm not sure it's the best choice. However, I feel better about it because we have a plan in place. We will give the increase one week. If after that time we don't see improvement we will call the other psychiatric hospital (the phone call has to be initiated by us at this hospital) and seek admission for him. I also met with the guy from the new program for difficult child today. It sounds very helpful-the guy was great and I was very impressed. There are more opportunities than I knew with this program. Things like summer camps, horse therapy, or other therapies that insurance might not typically pay for. We won't start until we know if difficult child will be hospitalized. If so we will start after the hospitalization. [/QUOTE]
