[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 544982"] I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to add a few thoughts. I could see my difficult child behaving like yours did. He was transitioning from camp to home. I don't know what the rules were like at camp (really strict? Kind of lax?) but I'm sure that they were different than what he has at home and he has to go from a "camp" state of mind to a "home" state of mind. That's a trigger, at least in our house it is. He said that he really didn't eat or sleep well while he was there, which can be a HUGE trigger. Just because he had a major meltdow does not not mean that the lithium isn't working for him. My difficult child takes risperdal, and has been pretty successful on it. However, we do still have those moments where he is just off the wall and nothing is going to talk him back down from the ledge until he just gets it out of his system. How long has be been on the lithium? I thoink that for some of these kids, not matter what medications they are on that works for them they still have these moments and no amount of medication is going to fix that. [/QUOTE]
