[QUOTE="Christy, post: 142993, member: 225"] My son is currently in a physchiatric hospital to get his medications stabilized. During this time (8 LONG days and counting) he has been given PRN medication either by mouth or injection (ativan and more often zypraxia) when he is having a violent meltdown. While the goal is to become satablized thus eliminating the need for PRN medication, I am wondering if doctors ever prescribe PRN's for parents to use. I hope that when he is out, he will not need them but we have been at this long enough to know that no medication cocktail works forever on a growing difficult child. I am thinking that if I had access to a PRN medication, I might be able to work with him on an outpatient or partial hospitalization level. I know he needs help but I HATE the prison-like environment of the psychiatric hospital and want my little guy home. Anyone have experience giving PRNs? Thanks, Christy [/QUOTE]
