[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 333672, member: 3444"] This is undoubtedly a very trying time for you. It would be for anyone dealing with a child with a mental illness, especially during a time of obvious instability. It seems clear to me that you need to keep your son home tomorrow and possibly even part of next week if you cannot get him reasonably stabilized over the weekend. I would hesitate pulling all the medications at once without consulting the psychiatrist first. Some of these medications have to be weaned off over a few days. Your signature does not indicate exactly WHAT medications he's on right now, so it's hard to say what the problem might be. I don't recall exactly what precipitated the psychiatric hospital admit either... I'll have to look at your other posts. Don't despair -- things WILL get better, but it's going to take time and a LOT of patience on everyone's part, including the school. (Does your son have an IEP or 504 plan in place?) Try to focus on getting through just one day at a time for right now. That's really the best you can hope to do until you get his medications straightened out and he is more stable. Hang in there. We're all here for you and understand what you're going through! [/QUOTE]
