[QUOTE="comatheart, post: 610612, member: 16859"] LMS, thank you for responding. The medications in my signature are current. They've changed dosages a few times since he's been admited, but he is still on the same medications he went in on. He has been on several different mood stabilizers in the past, some didn't work, some he had terrible side effects to. They have all the records, so imagine that's why they haven't tried anything different? I actually spoke with the psychiatrist at the rehab last night on the phone. She is very concerned with his progress, or lack thereof. She told us he goes above and beyond to say what he thinks they want to hear. (we've been saying this about him for years, so to hear her acknowledge it to us made us feel he is in the right place, they ARE seeing right through him) She explained she was prescribing the Lamictal for depression and that it is a very good medication for those with suicidal idealizations. (sp?) He has made out my husband to be a monster, which isn't surprising to us at all. Dad is the one who's been holding difficult child accountable from the very beginning of his downward spiral. I'm the one who kept wanting to give him another chance, give him the benefit of the doubt, accept all the excuses he was giving and overall be the ENABLER in the family. husband has been right about difficult child all along. Regardless, because he has this monster built up in his head about husband, we'll have to work through it. The psychiatrist thinks this is key to getting him to open up. :( He has several counselors working with him there. An individual and a family counselor. They both want to meet with me today, so we'll see what they are thinking about all of this... You have a good point about him needing to learn the Big Book and AA, thank you for the reminder!!
