[QUOTE="totoro, post: 264485, member: 3155"] My difficult child K has a female and she struggled at first because she did not trust psychiatrist's. She had a male she did not like at all. He was very militant. Our psychiatrist is super cool but firm. She actually has a huge chart with all of the medications and shows her which medication she is thinking about RX'ing and tells her about it. Askes K how she feels etc. With our Anti-Anxiety medication we use Ativan for K. We only give it to her when her anxiety is bad. We give her a low dose if we feel she needs it, if K feels she needs it we double the dose. If she is flipping out and out of control then it is double. it all depends on the level. Because of the addicting qualities we use this one sparingly. We use her therapist to help with her general anxiety. It takes a while to gain the trust, but it is worth it. For me Topamax helps. I use Valium PRN when it is bad. I actually chew them to get them to work faster which is nasty! This was psychiatrist's suggestion. Both K and my first apt's with our psychiatrist's were 2hours. Now they vary depending on if our medications are working and if we are having issues. 15 minutes to and hour. We both love our psychiatrist's and they are very lenient with their time. Good luck I think it is vary important to help her so it doesn't get worse for her. [/QUOTE]
