[QUOTE="Christy, post: 145305, member: 225"] They may be the "experts" but you are the MOM! If you don't want him on a particular medication, it is your right to say so. State clearly that you want the medication stopped. My son was given a black eye the first time he was restrained at the psychiatric hospital. They call and told me he slipped in his socks and hit the corner of the desk. When I visited my son that night, I told him to be more careful and he said that he didn't fall but was pushed down by one of the men trying to give him an injection. My son's behavior is explosive but we have never caught him in a lie so I tend to believe him. We told ourselves that it can happen and that it was one of the things we were afraid would happen at home when trying to get control during a violent episode but I never felt he was safe after that. I issited on visiting daily even when they suggested that I not see him after he'd had a rough day. I said even if it was just 5 minutes I was going to see him. I needed to lay eyes on him. I noted many black and blue marks on his arms and legs as well as rugburns on his face and shoulders. In fairness, he was often covered with bruises at home because he throws himself around during a rage. But I was always worried after the blackeye happened. It is so hard putting your child into someone elses care even when we know that it is absolutely necessary at times. Sorry about the your situation. Hope things start to improve soon.
