[QUOTE="klmno, post: 224588, member: 3699"] I just got off the phone with difficult child- he sounds pretty good but is a bit cranky. I guess they got him up at the regular early hours instead of letting him sleep a little late. He seemed fine with me waiting until tomorrow to visit. The medication they want to try is Naltrexan (also known as revia, trexan, and nalorex). I think it's primarily used to treat drug addiction. He hasn't done drugs (they tested) but it's supposed to help control impulses to self-injure and stop any thrill or endorphin release from cutting or something like that. I'm not sure about it but the people at the psychiatric hospital apparently think it has helped a lot of kids. difficult child and I talked about it tonight. He wants me to hurry and consent because he said the psychiatrist told him if all goes well, he can come home Mon or Tues. I told difficult child I have to make decisions based on what I think is in his best interest- not on just how quick he can come home. This is going to be a rough family meeting on Sun. Of course, it's not so easy to demand anything when it boils down to how much my insurance will pay for. But, it will be one more place it gets documented, I guess. [/QUOTE]
