[QUOTE="Steely, post: 140148, member: 3301"] So sorry for everything. Believe me when I say, I too, have been there done that. It really sounds like he is suffering from some pretty intense depression/anxiety. I think I would call psychiatrist and see if a medication switch is in order. As Sara says he is on twice the designated amount of Focalin which can make him over aroused. As well as the possibility of Geodone causing similar issues. The other thing that was mentioned is switching the Geodone for Lamictal which is supposed to really help with the depression/anxiety stuff. Also, another thought is that when difficult child is stable with his moods, there is the possibility of adding just a small dose of an anti-depressant to the mix to help with the anxiety. WIth my difficult child, after we had established mood stability with Lamictal and Lithium, we added Paxil - and it seemed to truly help his whole mood come together and finally be smoother than it had been his whole life. (Not that it is perfect by any stretch - just better:sheepish:) Sending big hugs. Sorry things are so rough. Sounds like difficult child is just as miserable as you are - call the psychiatrist!
