[QUOTE="Jena, post: 194806, member: 4514"] hi, i dont' like it either.....and he said to me you are going to go home nad read a whole bunch of really bad stuff about this medication and then you are going to call me. he started at 10mg. of it once a day at bedtime i have not filled it as of yet. i am not comfortable wtih giving her this type of medication at night no way where i cannot watch for side effects and just hope she's breathing.......i've been there before sitting bedside for first 3 or 4 nights until i know her system accepts it. he said that to me i could try one of the newer frontline drugs......but he said i don't like them very much i go into the hospital and i see these kids on 3 and 4 medications due to side effects from first medications and i shake my head. he said people question sometimes why are you using thsi old medication, why are you doing that? he said i'm in the business to help people. he's not a big fan of depakote or lithium (he said way too dangerous for her), or the others abilify, etc. he said i like thorezine in a very low dosage. we sat there for almost an hour tonight going over everything. she's been very hyped for a while now. he wants to address the mania and anxiety but i told him i think it's hypomania not full blown mania at all times and i also think that i'm nervous about throwing her into a depressive state because she was diagnosed with-major depressive mood disorder by columbia so if we bring mania down tooo far we'll have much worse major depression. i can't sleep tonight and difficult child is up as usual so i figured i'd get thoughts out and type thanks for the responses though. i'm still trying to wrap my head around the diagnosis. i've been here before doctors have said possiblity in past [/QUOTE]
