[QUOTE="Steely, post: 451516, member: 3301"] Clonidine he was on for years, at first it worked, then not - yet Metropol is supposed to be in that family? That's why it seems like it would work? Crazy remind me about neurontin - it seems like we tried that. Is it in the same family as Clonidine? Tegretol he has tried but I am not sure why he stopped - it was years ago - around the time we tried Topomax which turned him into Dope-a-max - he couldn't even count to ten. I can't do a medication change like that until we find a Dr in Portland but I will keep it in mental rolo-dex. And no - he will not take Zyprexa EVER again. He is so black and white - and this is just one of those BLACK things. The same reason he decided he that he won't take Trazadone to sleep - because "it makes him groggy". Umm....well groggy is better than being a butt #@$% because you haven't slept? No, he doesn't see it that way - and maybe I wouldn't either if I was in his shoes. I have had doctors try to give me all sorts of medications, and I know how they can sometimes make me feel worse - and I am just as firm as he is about not taking things that make me feel worse. To fly up alone is a great idea but it would mean I am left with the 3 dogs that don't get along - which is a lot of dog supervision and interference on my part - but I am thinking perhaps that would be a better option. He is fine (I think) on planes - although he apparently did tell a mom to tell her baby to be quiet on his last flight - nice :( I don't know - he wanted this ONE college class that Portland was offering - and it is already filled. School doesn't start until Sept 25th - and its filled -really???? I am just so numb - I have no idea how to help - what is appropriate - and when. But please continue the suggestions!!!! I need them. As I said - if I go to psychiatrist appointment with him in Portland - Matt is still open to my suggestions - which is huge. I think he trusts that I have been coaching him through this since he was 4. He cannot start all over again with some newbie doctor that wants to try Xanax and Adderall. [/QUOTE]
