You are the mom....no one can make you give a medication your gut is saying is hurting him. It's insane for some phone person to say it's not the medication....duh
If this already happened with one other antipsychotic medication (you said it happened with Risperdal)... I'm not understanding why you are questioning that it is happening again......
If you stop, then want to try again after talking to the doctor that's ok. You are the boss. We always say trust your gut and you said your gut says it is not good.
If this doctor doesn't listen, perhaps ours time to get a new one?? Maybe next time.....plan ahead for if there is a reaction like this. If A happens, then do this. If B happens, do that. No more calling a service...only follow the plan or talk to the original doctor.
Our doctor tells me what to do... like if this week you see....X, then do not give any more doses and call me. One doctor gave me her cell.
I'm sorry, I really do understand, it's so frustrating and disappointing.
Poor baby.
Not relevant to now....but...
Our doctor figured out that some medications can work for my son of we give it in minute amounts, using those tiny baby medication droppers.....building over weeks and weeks.
Also, for Seroquel, our psychiatrist said that for a child like mine...higher doses work but lower can cause problems so under close supervision they dose high then cut back until they are at a dose that still works. If you ever get desperate it's a thought....only under close medical supervision of course.
Happily, a different AP did work for us. We didn't have to risk that.
Hugs, hope tomorrow is a better day.
