[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 105069, member: 1680"] It was regular tenex. His behavior has been so strange. Words cannot even describe. Thursday was the psychiatrist appointment and we upped the lithium on friday morning. His behavior was off the wall before Friday and continued the same on Saturday. Last night he did some very bazzar things at dinner. He ws jumpy and looked like he was seeing things (but would not explain his weird behavior). Today he woke me at 5:00 because of a bad dream which he does often now. Then he was back up at 6:00 and was very hyper, elated and not in control. Then he just flopped down, said his stomache hurt and that is when the nausea, vomitting, sluggishness etc. started. During the last month he is drinking huge amounts. Example: breakfast: a water bottle, a capri sun water pouch and an orange juice. He has been looking nausiated and doing a weird swallowing thing. We were hoping he may be sick but no fever and no other symptoms. By 4:00 tonight he perked back up and ate a small snack and drank a capri sun water. I really think it is the lithium. He did not even play with his Chanukah present tonight but he did light the candles, which is very important to him. I took our oldest to the Chanukah dinner on Thursday night and our son was so upset that he could not go, but trust me he could not go. We keep telling him that we are helping him get his healthy behavior back. I was glad our daughter was with her friends because I was in the bathroom crying most of the evening. When I saw his class get up to lead us in a song I broke down and ran out. He misses so much. Our family misses so much. We are back to living in isolation. He is not out of control is the sense of needing to be out of the home, which i probably would not do any way. There are no decent places here to do that. At this point I am just rambling, worried sick, sad for him and for us and crying my eyes out that we have lost our son again. I do not know how many times we can go through this. [/QUOTE]
