Hi all :smile:
My difficult child has been in a 2.5 hour long tirade of screaming, throwing things, threats, tears, threats of killing himself, threats of kiling me, and on and on...all of this because I said he needed to do a little of his homework...this morning before school it was because I asked him if he wanted to take a snack.
I'm not sure how much more of this I can take..I called the psychologist who heard him flipping out..she told me to call the psychiatrist, still waiting call back and she thinks it is a reaction to the adderall XR he has been on for a few weeks. We saw something similair to this on Concerta. I'm just not sure what to do for this kid. I have no insurance so I pay out of pocket for everything. So no taking him to the ER. I can't get any assistance for him because I'm an RN and make too much money even though I only work part time/per diem...so the psychiatric docs hardly want to deal with us at all...even though I pay anything they ask for. I just want to scream right now. I have to go to my nursing job at 11 pm tonight, my boyfriend just cancelled our vacation in March, he has a business trip he has to take( I was desperate to get away), I have 50 packages to ship from my ebay sales...and this kid will not stop flipping out...I think I need medications . Thanks for letting me vent
