[QUOTE="klmno, post: 219891, member: 3699"] 1) About 6-8 weeks, I think- and he was not on any medications during that time 2) At first, like nothing had changed although it thought it odd that he'd just gotten in all that trouble legally and at school and it didn't seem to phase him, then there were times he would rage, he couldn't sleep at night, his interest in sex and the computer sites about sex sky-rocketed (he was 12/crossing the biggest line of puberty), he was angry, then it went to biting his nails compusively, not being able to sit still, seemingly high-anxiety, and this is when he told me (then psychiatrist) that there were periods of time (phases) that he could not feel pain normally and his body didn't feel normal Steely- my doubt is that what is being described as askasthia is what I would have said is hypomania- and have told psychiatrist "difficult child is hypomanic"- except- difficult child goes on cleaning sprees during those periods of time, too, but I thought that was to keep himself moving around. Anyway, difficult child has had medication changes as a result of this- depakote was originally added to the lithobid because of difficult child feeling and behaving like that; actually, that's the way difficult child was acting at the time the MS's first were given, although he had gone thru a few phases of different "moods" prior to that, as described above, and when the MS was first added, difficult child was doing a short stint in juvy and I had gotten permission to check him out to take him to psychiatrist [/QUOTE]
