[QUOTE="klmno, post: 147043, member: 3699"] Thanks, Sharon! I understand psychiatrist being frustrated- I just wish he could see that I am not exagerating when I say this medication isn't working. The psychiatrist on call the other night, though, mentioned that maybe gffg isn't having reactions to medications like I think- maybe they just aren''t taking effect yet and in the meantime, difficult child keeps right on escalating further or rapid cycling more or whatever- which is why we were changing medications to begin with. There could be truth in that- some of the times. I think it left me a little paranoid about medication changes when difficult child's first medication was prozac and after a year, the only dosage he'd ever been on (low dose) was doubled, then I hear from psychiatrist that difficult child was manic after he got 7 legal charges in less than 2 hours. First, psychiatrist never told me warning signs to watch for. So, I am left feeling like it is my responsibility to notice and do something about ANY reaction before he gets into trouble again. And, I think the court has emphasized that indirectly. Another question, Smallworld, re. day treatment- I can see that it would be a great way to evaluation medications and how much behavior is connected to disorder and how much is in difficult child's control and how difficult child interacts with peers, authority figures, etc., so- do they get involved with IEP recommendations for his return to school as well?
