[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 479128, member: 3444"] Yesterday the boys and I saw the psychiatrist and at the end of our session, the kids went out so I could talk privately about husband. I explained how he's been behaving lately. My own personal belief that he's bipolar, etc. psychiatrist actually concurred and said that in the past when he's suggested that husband needed to get off the Paxil and on something different, husband has been very resistant, and worried that it would result in him going back to having a really bad temper and having these mood meltdowns like he used to have. I did not accept that as an answer from psychiatrist (and now I'm wondering if he's intimidated by husband). I asked him if he'd try a different approach when husband comes back in January. I asked if he'd try pointing out that IF the Paxil were truly working for husband, then he would not be feeling the way he is lately (depressed). Geez, you'd have thought I turned on a light switch. The psychiatrist agreed that he'd try a more [I]logical[/I] approach with husband. DUH!!! :slap: I swear, some days it feels like I'm surrounded by idiots. Whatever. Hopefully we can make it through the holidays without major drama ensuing and husband can muddle through until his January appointment... On another note, we're scrapping the Intuniv for difficult child 2 and trying amantadine to see if that helps his ADHD problems without so much sedation. Apparently it was originally developed for the flu, failed miserably, but was discovered to be a 100% dopamine agonist with a very good side effect profile. And it's been around for. eh. ver. So fingers crossed this helps, cuz this kid can barely stay awake in class until about 10am every day. [/QUOTE]
