[QUOTE="klmno, post: 263134, member: 3699"] That info is very helpful. The medicaid should help a lot and you might need the 3 mos stay in the hospital (psychiatric hospital)- as I said before, it could lead to being able to change the type of medicaid she's on so if she needs a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) after the psychiatric hospital, it should cover most of it. If she goes to that psychiatric hospital, call medicaid after she's been out of the home for 30 days and check. As far as medications- my son has been on lithium for almost 2 years. He has had depakote, zyprexa, and tegretol as add-ons, among others, off and on for the past 2 years, too. (The lithium stayed constant.) At least for my son, NONE of these other medications made a difference anywhere close to what the lithium has made. Until you can get your daughter in a place safe enough for a medication-wash, I'd suggest talking with the psychiatrist (psychiatrist) about the possibility of a different type of mood stabilizer. Maybe lamictol and risperdal as an add on, for instance. I think there are a couple of members here from Texas- maybe they can offer help as far as professionals and places and state policies/processes that will help. [/QUOTE]
