Janna,
This sounds so scary, I'm very glad he is o.k. I know how much this must take out of you emotionally. That pdoc would be driving me crazy as well. Gentle hugs, I hope you are able to get some rest tonight.

dh of 20 years-don't know what I'd do without him
gfg 15 years-old son adopted at birth-premature by 3 months-birth mother use crack,-bipolar, ADHD, Cognitive Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, Severe dyslexia taking clazapine, loxapine, gabapentin, clonidine during the day for help with ADHD symptoms.
pc/gfg 19 year-old daughter, also adopted, taking generic of Welbutrin for depression and Risperdal (sp?).
Janna..........this sounds identical to my gfg when he is manic. IMO he is not exhibiting dissociative states, instead he is coming back down from the roller coaster of mania, and landing, and this emotes many feeling that are not rage driven like regret, sadness, remorse, and being scared. Even though he is 12 he probably just wanted him mom to hold him because he was frightened and confused inside.
I think you need to fire your pdoc and find someone who will really work with you on meds. If he is bi-polar, than he needs to be on mood stabs. Is he on those yet? If so, they are not working, and they need to be changed. I think I would get his meds on track before you go the through the grueling RTC tours and trials.
Many hugs - and keep us posted.

Janna,
I am sorry I am late to this. I had much drama myself last night, didn't have time to get on the computer.
I am so sorry. That sounds awful. I know the feeling of not wanting to go to the ER. What's the point right? I had to laugh at the Seroquol advice too. LOL Like that is all it takes, even if you could get him to take it!!! Did they not hear the part where he put his head through the glass??? Clueless!!!!!!!
You sound like you are holding up okay. You are a strong lady!!! Hang in there hun!!
(((HUGS)))

The roller coaster is no fun. And I have found that the crashes seem almost harder to take than the day in/day out. At least intially. Just realizing the additional emotion I have with a crash after a "good spell" has helped me deal with them better. Its almost like you mourn those "good times" in addition to having to now deal with the bs again, where as after you've been dealing with the bs for months on end, more bs is just status quo.
Anyway, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Its no fun. Hugs.

Wee GFG:9 M, HYPER; plethra of dx'es
I say anxiety is the cause for a lot of the hyper, but what do I know...I'm just the mom
I hope today was better....maybe the increase in serquoel can help knock out the mania...and he can remain at home. How long has he been home since his last RTC placement? Hopefully something will work out with the pdoc. Are you still working?
