[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 219204"] Hi all. Well difficult child has really been all over the place. Last night at his therapy session, his therapist commented about him. He was sitting down, getting up, walking around, interrupting and talking nonstop about whatever popped into his mind, easily distracted. At times it was quite comical actually. She said she had notice some increase a couple of weeks ago (she didn't see him last week because of Thanksgiving). While we were there, psychiatrist called and I missed it, he left his cell number for me to call back. I called him as soon as I saw the missed call. Explained to him what is going on, he told me to give difficult child an additional 20 mg of Geodon last night along with 50 mg of Benedryl and then give difficult child 20 mg of Geodon this morning and call him when difficult child gets home from school today. Well, I did and difficult child was zonked this morning, I was able to get him to briefly open his eyes, but then he was back out. I noticed this for a few days after his last increase too and then he was fine. He finally woke up and is very whiney. Says he feels kinda bad but kinda good, not sure. We'll see how it goes. Monday's appointment can't come soon enough. I just don't know how to juggle everything. I can't miss work, but how do I deal with situations like this? I left him home with his sister today. I feel torn. And then he's missing yet another day of school. I guess I need to somehow get this into his IEP as well (once I am able to get one). I am glad it's Friday. [/QUOTE]
