[QUOTE="Steely, post: 474831, member: 3301"] Phosph is - Psychiatric Hopsital Vyvanese is another stimulant. Again this class of medications *may* be making things worse. Depakote is what Matt is on, and it is a mood stabilizer. It addresses his mood cycling, his anxiety, and hostility. They should do testing if requested at phosph. The thing about the hospital is that they tend to be a holding tank, unless the parent demands *things* be done. So just like you demanded that he stay there because of his violence, you can demand that he have a medication wash, and you can demand he gets testing (although insurance companies can balk at this), and you can demand that they start trialing mood stabilizing medicines. A psychiatric test would help identify if he has Bi-Polar, or Depression, or a myriad of other things. Within the mood stabls there are so many, I can't list them all, but Depakote is one, Lamictal, Lithium, Tegertol, etc. You could also suggest they trial an Anti-Pyschotic, which is a very common medication for our kids to be on. Matt did the VERY best on this class of medications. These are medications like Abilify, Zyprexa, Seroquel, etc. [/QUOTE]
