[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 113683, member: 1233"] David, I am SO glad you are leaving your difficult child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It is very hard to get a child into one, very few are put into Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s with-o a real need. He NEEDS this. And, as he is sending letters trying to make disrespect seems like a small thing, he isn't ready to come home. It is really hard to make them stay. Even when you KNOW they need it. As for the doctor, I am sorry it was humiliating. From talking with my husband, I realize that it is. Even a visit where a full exam is not done is humiliating, in my husband's mind. And in many men's minds I think. You did a GOOD JOB going to the doctor and asking for help. Buspar helps with anxiety. My daughter took it for aobut 10 months as we dealth with her brother's abuse of her. Not sure what her dose was, but it is a very safe medication. It is not a benzodiazepin, like valium or xanax, so the addiction risk is not something anyone ever discussed with us. Zoloft is for the depression. It can be very very effective. For a small number of males it can have aggression as a side effect. For my son and brother this happened between the 4 and 6 month point. So it was NOT right away, and neither of them have had this from other medications in it's class. husband had none of this either, and he took it for several years. Ambien is for sleep. ONLY take it at night, when you can get 6-8 hours of sleep. Take it just before you turn off the lights. If you find yourself waking up after about 4 hours, then talk to your doctor about ambien cr. It is time release, and keeps you asleep, but you wake up refreshed. My dad has taken Ambien, or Ambien CR for several years, with no ill effects. Proud of you for going to the doctor and talking about the problems. It is hard to do. I am sorry your boss was such a jerk. I would have left also. The letter Marg suggests is a good idea. If this is a large company, a copy sent to the boss's boss, and/or the CEO/President/Owner is also a good idea. You may have options due to the behavior of your superior. If you don't? you will find another job. You were looking for a job when you found that one (old saying my aunt used). Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
