[QUOTE="Steely, post: 162747, member: 3301"] Many hugs..........it is so hard to see our kids in a hospital, let alone at that age. Yet, many of us have traveled that road. While your son is in phosph make sure that he gets a full psychological work up - in fact demand that he is not released without the proper testing. This includes 8 hours worth of testing that will help diagnosis many things, the least of which includes Aspergers. The proper medications are crucial at this point to help him stabilize. Lamictal is a good medication, but 10mg is [I]really[/I] low. He may also need more of a mood stabilizer for the short time, like Seroquel or Risperdal. Again, demand that he trial a new medication, and that you see results, before he is released. You have to be a real aggressive character in these phosph settings to get your kids what they need. It is just the way they are set up. Do not be afraid to demand what you think is fair and appropriate. The most they can do is deny it. This will all get better. I promise. [/QUOTE]
