[QUOTE="dirtmama, post: 348107, member: 8909"] Now my husband and i are at odds. argueing about the same subjects all weekend long...(but really having the same concerns). i talked to the family phys. (who's refered us to neuropsychologist) on fri and wants to add a mood stabilizer to the mix. he told us to try to hold out on the concerta in the am and see what happens. difficult child was in melt down to uphoria and hysterical and obnoxiuos...we made it from 5:30-7:30 am. then broke down and gave him the concerta (i was about in tears). i don't know why but the concerta helps. I respect the dr as an md and as a parent but he has absolutly no clue what it's like dealing with- a difficult child. he proceeded to give me parenting advice (bless his heart). My husband was floored and was/is opposed to adding any more drugs.(he doesn't do any research and barely goes to dr apts) we haven't even seen the n.psychiatric yet. (on the waiting list) the fam phy is consulting with- np. i got a book on bpkids and read it till midnight. wow! its uncanny. i told my hubby he's got to read some of it before we both go in talk to to fam phy. both of us together. we are going to tell him that we arn't comfortable with- him perscibing all this with-out the neuropsy even meeting our difficult child. even though i now understand what they are trying to do. doesn't it go against some sort of ethics to handle mental health and these drugs this way? we are so overwhelmed and exhausted! BY the way...yesterday i took him out all day to a flower show and lunch and shopping and you'd swear he was a easy child (exept for the minor nagging and rushed mode) we had a great day:angel3: unfortunetly it aways ends with- hysteria... eventually.(and everyday begins with- it) [/QUOTE]
