[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 388394, member: 8617"] Not my area of experience, just wanted to offer some support. I know how messy medication changes can be, add to that a missed dose and the whole thing gets confusing.:whiteflag: Enjoy his sunny disposition while it lasts. I recently realized that with my difficult child medications generally help him feel happy -OR- help him be more easily managed, never both, at least yet. I find it hard to make adjustments because either benefit always seems like it is such a delicate balance. I do ditto the waiting to end of week for psychiatrist call is too long, especially with your difficult child's age and medication load. Our psychiatrist likes to wait a week for updates if things seem well but if we have a crisis or bad reaction that needs mentioning I call her personal cell phone at ANY hour. While I realize I may be at the other extreme end of the spectrum as far as psychiatrist service one would think somewhere in the middle should be expected...a business day possibly two but never a full week. My family would never make it under that time frame. I *hate* weekend problems, nothing ever happens when it is convenient.:sick: [/QUOTE]
