[QUOTE="totoro, post: 30297, member: 3155"] This does bring up the topic of medications and files etc... I have a psychiatrist who said just up the medications as you see fit... Up to 5mg... but with little direction etc... I could see how this could be misconstrued if something bad were to happen. I felt uneasy about this and call our pediatrician anytime I increase the dose and discuss it with her and then I call for a medication consult with- psychiatrist. I have yet to talk with psychiatrist, but I left messages with the info. I just want to make sure their is documentation of what and why we are doing what we are doing. I also want the doctors opinion. But our scrip does not reflect what our dose is... our records do. Because they don't know what dose difficult child will end up at the bottle just says one tablet a day... she is up to one and a half and soon will be 2. The prn medications are also scary... we have diazepam as needed... we have only used it once. But some of us that have prn medications or as needed medications have to use great judgement!!! And someone has to trust us to give us the scrip. And yes almost all of us are giving our kids medications off label... people can come down on us for that as well... My files from our old pediatrician who thought we didn't need a psychiatrist painted me as a hysterical mom who was in denial!!! As if we don't have enough to worry about??? [/QUOTE]
