[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 703147, member: 20727"] We went back to the neuro psy yesterday, I refused to see the resident and ended up waiting almost an hour to see the actual doctor. But I think it was worth the wait. I can not tell you how close I was to leaving because of the other horribly behaved kids in the waiting room. Mine is currently grounded for being suspended again for not keeping his little hands to himself (hit the para). He is not allowed to have any electronics right now or play with friends. Hes pretty much down to legos and books at this point. I feel for other parents with kids that have these issues now more then I did years ago, but seriously don't bring all 4 of your kids to the doctors appointment for the one that has horrible behavior problems. I could not imagine having to deal with a infant, toddlers and out of control 6 or 7 year old literally climbing the walls and breaking the bookshelves while doing it. How exactly are you going to be able to have any type of a real conversation with the doctor? There was at least 4 families there which consisted of one caregiver and a handful of children each. The one mother shocked even the receptionist, her child was literally running wild and all she did was play on her phone while bouncing a baby on her knee. When they called her child's name she got up and handed the baby to her other child that was maybe 7 years old and took the out of control one back. Who does that? how can you leave an small child to care for a baby in a place full of strangers that are most likely mentally ill! The waiting area is shared with adult mental health, for the most part the grown up patients are on one side and the kids gravitate towards the toys on the other but still. Anyway she agreed that stimulants are obviously not the answer for him right now. Though they do show a temporary improvement (about an hour) so that does mean something. She increased the abilify and wants to try strattera. I told her im not sure on any more/new medications because of the reactions hes had the past few weeks. she gave me a paper script and just said fill it when and if I feel comfortable with the idea. She was not impressed with the residents decision to continue the adderall after I told her what went on with it. apperantly they never gave the doctor the message, only the student when I called in. She was also pretty angry about the stopping abilify if it was working. She was under the impression that I wanted to find an alternative to it because of the cost ($600 a month) and my ins refuses to pay for it. She did refer him for therapy and counseling services, shes not sure what a counsler will be able to help with but its definitely not going to hurt him any.
