[QUOTE="Steely, post: 39510, member: 3301"] Thanks guys for all of the support. Matt is doing better tonight. There were no outbursts of a violent nature today, rather a river of tears. He has so much pain and sorrow, that I think if he cannot be angry without severe consquence, he has to cry instead, which is such a better release for him. In addition to titrating up on the Lamictal, which takes forever to reach a therapuetic level, they have added Clonidine for his blood pressure. Interestingly he has been on Clonidine, because it can also be used for anger and impulsivity control, and the medication worked very well for him. This was a long time ago, and the Dr took him off it once we got the bi-polar diagnosis. However, we will see now, if this added to the mix will help calm him down. It makes sense that if your BiPolar (BP) is 200/100 you are going to be impulsive and somewhat out of control....so if we lower the BiPolar (BP) it would make sense the rage would be less. (Who knows, like I am a DR [img]:wink:[/img] Anyhow.... I am convinced now that he has to be back in a school type of setting....no more homeschooling. He is too old, and needs a peer group of some sort, but I need suggestions. I live in Dallas Texas, and I have yet to find a behavioral oriented school that is reputable - however, I am open to moving. I have few ties here, and I am open to relocating if there is an amazing therapuetic day school that anyone knows about in their area. ( I am not open to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at this point). If anyone has any resources they know about please PM me. Thanks again for the prayers and thoughts..... [/QUOTE]
