[QUOTE="Steely, post: 214103, member: 3301"] Thanks for all the input guys.......... Adrianne, it had not really occurred to me that the staff may be pushing the PRNs.......maybe I do need to request copies of the medical history. I do have extended guardianship, so I should be able to say, do, or request whatever I want. As far as medications - I believe we are in the same category as Dude - Matt has tried every medication in the book. And unfortunately with his bi-polar, the medications that work for my depression, do not work for him without making him manic, and the anti-psychotics give him Akathsia........so we are limited to a very medication choices. The plan as I know it, is to re-start the Lamictal & Paxil he was on, but that the hospital 3 months ago so kindly "accidentally discontinued". On that medication regimen he was more stable than he had ever been in terms of his mood cycling...........although he did try to commit suicide at the end of a 6 month period of stability so God only knows what the right combo is. Oddly he called me tonight hyper, hyper, happy. You would think that would make me feel better, but it just made me feel the same queasy, uneasy feeling. What now. What next. Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
