[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 46919, member: 3211"] Thanks so much for the additional prayers, good wishes and support. I guess I've just gone into protect myself mode, maybe. Here it is 11:30 p.m. our time and difficult child is still up. He has convinced himself that he cannot sleep with the seroquel and so he is not sleeping. Every 30 minutes or so, I can hear him up walking around, using the bathroom, etc. - then he stands at the top of the stairs and says "I'm still not asleep". The staff at the psychiatric hospital said that he slept fine after a few nights of restlessness. Could it just be his anxiety/excitement of being home? I do realize that seroquel has a sedative side effect to it, but he's been two weeks or so without it and was sleeping there. Sigh. Maybe if I go up to bed, he'll settle down. Let's hope so. I'm going to attempt to get up with a brighter attitude in the morning and not condemn myself any more for feeling a bit torn on the issue. Thanks again, everyone. [/QUOTE]
