[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 49869, member: 2894"] Talked to M's new psychiatric hospital psychiatrist tonight by phone for about 1/2 hr to fill him in a little more and answer any questions he had and then listen to his medication suggestions for M. He wants to start M on an SSRI to treat anxiety. He does not think M is ADHD and I agreed with him. Of course, he doesn't really know M at all...he's just going on the history he's been given. He called me on my cell and I was having trouble hearing, so I wasn't totally clear on whether he's going to discontinue the Seroquel or not. I would assume he's going to discontinue the Strattera. Just typing this I can feel my anxiety rising. This is such a rollercoaster. Everybody is just "guessing" and I feel like I should just plan out four to five weeks from now when M will be readmitted to the psychiatric hospital (you know...depending on when they discharge him...he can't seem to make it more than 3 weeks post discharge). I voiced my concern that I'm very concerned that M will go manic on an SSRI. And, I'm not a Dr and I could be way off base, but I had to say it out loud. He agreed it was a risk, but said we wouldn't know unless we tried it. I told him how the other psychiatrist wanted to add a mood stabilizer to the Seroquel and we sort of threw that around for a minute, but he went back to the SSRI. I'm scared. I'm anxious. I don't want a FOURTH psychiatric hospital admit after this one. I'm rambling. I'm sorry. It's late and I should be sleeping. I just had to get this off of my chest. psychiatrist is going to call me in the AM from the psychiatric hospital to confirm the medication change and I'll confirm if the Seroquel stays or goes and which SSRI he's going to go with. I'm sorry for rambling. Thanks for listening. [/QUOTE]
