[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 236316, member: 2423"] klmno, good morning. I hope you both managed to get some sleep. This isn't about you. It's about your difficult child's mental illness, which I agree with Heather is hard for a young teen to accept, take responsibility for and cope with. He definitely needs better medication management. Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure Tegretol is going to do anything for his current sx. He needs something for anxiety and depression, and Tegretol doesn't seem to target those sx. I'm going to be the devil's advocate here. If you could locate a psychiatrist who is willing to see difficult child frequently (as in every week or every other week) and be very proactive about finding the right medication combo for your difficult child, he might not need Residential Treatment Center (RTC). That is what allowed us to keep our kids at home, but it wasn't easy and it took a while to stabilize them on their medications. Hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
