[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 348954, member: 3184"] Actually he functions well with it. He is weird. It helps to combat the sedative effect of the tegretol. Right now it is only 10mg, I think only enough to appease husband as he knows it perks him up during the day. Usually he only takes 20mg, so it is a pretty small dose. It can certainly be fuel to the fire, and psychiatrist knows that and will pull it if things don't get better by Monday. husband is getting better, but he is not sleeping well, and that leads to big trouble with him. Both kids are acting out a bit, ok a lot. they got through the worst of this episode ok, and now are acting out because of it. I told husband that his manic episodes are hard on all of us, especially the kids. He really does not get that how is affects all of us. I may ask psychiatrist to talk to him about this, he takes things better when it comes from psychiatrist. I don't know anything, ya know! husband was supposed to pick easy child up from school today as I had difficult child at Occupational Therapist (OT). He never showed, did not wake up untill 4pm. I picked up easy child as soon as I could, but she was furious and I don't blame her. Luckily it was not too cold, but she did wear her flip flops today! Maybe by the time spring break is over he will be better. I hope so. I am going to try to work tommorrow and the weekend. I will call in if I have to, but I need to work. I have missed over a month of work over this stuff, 84hrs to be exact. Thank god for FMLA! [/QUOTE]
