[QUOTE="klmno, post: 291065, member: 3699"] Can someone tell me how dangerous this is? difficult child had been on Tegretol, Lithobid, & seroquel. Lithobid was his front line MS and his highest dosage (1200mg/day). He was on a medium dose of tegretol but that had supposed to have been only PRN- however Department of Juvenile Justice doesn't give medications prn so they had given it to him daily for months. His seroquel is very low and just there to help with sleep. Then, this past week the psychiatrist agreed to start tapering difficult child off medications completely, but gradually. difficult child called tonight and the *%#& nurse made a mistake tonight. They were supposed to start with a tegretol decrease and difficult child said his night dosage of it had been cut in half the past few days. That would make sense because he took it twice a day. But tonight, a nurse came into work and gave him the original dose of tegretol but only half the lithobid. difficult child is in Department of Juvenile Justice- not Residential Treatment Center (RTC)- so there is no calling to complain. I can call his therapist Monday but I was wondering if this is a real danger tonight? [/QUOTE]
