[QUOTE="totoro, post: 176559, member: 3155"] Terry, we explained to her what they do. She is so smart and she knew that they look at your brain and can see things in there... if "you might be sick" she didn't know the word for cancer or blood clot. But she was pretty informed, she had this mental image of them taking a picture, and being able to see the different parts of her brain and what was working and if it was working. Andy- she takes the Risperdal m-tabs for her PRN. We try to give them to her any time she seems to "start" to elevate. But she is an ultra-ultra-rapid cycler at this point. It comes on so fast at times that by the time we can get her to take it she is done with the first rage/episode. Her psychiatrist even says, she is a tough one to get it in early, we try the minute she starts. But some times she is so up so fast that she wont take it. So we have to wait for her to come down, take the PRN. But she still needs it at that point because once she is elevated like this it usually means increased moods and the day just gets worse as well as the violence. This is what we have to do until we can find an MS that touches her or get to a therapeutic level of Seroquel. We will give her the PRN also if we know we have a lot to do, that will stress her out. (crowds, long drives, flights etc.) Christy- We have a psychiatrist apt right when we get to Tucson. I believe like the 5th of Aug. She is doing pretty good today. Drawing and cutting in front of the TV. [/QUOTE]
