[QUOTE="totoro, post: 73213, member: 3155"] Thanks everyone!!! My refuge is my few minutes to sneak away here!!! I have read up on the medications he is suggesting... But like most of you who have to go the Mood Stabilizer route, I have asked, "Why not, Lithium, Depakote or Tegretol?" I always get the, "Well the blood draws..." Or the "Well I have had good luck with this..." I really don't understand why they wouldn't start with one of those and fo from there??? I mean if they are questioning the diagnosis, why would they put her on Lamictal ands Trileptal??? The good news is she is doing so poorly, our therapist has wanted to see her in this state since day one and never could catch it, well today she got a pretty good glimpse!!! Last night I had to give her Lorazapam and her medications, it took 3 hours after that to get her down!!! Of course she woke up ready to go... I don't know about a getaway... I can dream about it!!! My 20 minutes in between dropping off K and picking up N I go to coffee... and space out. I get a full 20 minutes to do that!!! It actually feels good. I have another call with psychiatrist3 tomorrow sometime. I really do think he wants to help, I think he is trying to pinpoint all of the symptoms and where they stem from and what is new and what is emerging and what is medication related, blah blah blah... As a Mom watching all of this it is SO hard to remain patient at times... you just want to scream, "She is only 6, quit using her for your experiments!" How the heck am I going to feel when she is in her teens??? Thank goodness for all of you... I really mean that especially on a week like this. When I can offer little advice, have little time and feel very lost. [/QUOTE]
