[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 49937, member: 2894"] Thank you everyone for your responses. I appreciate each and every one of you. I really just needed to get that out of my system so I could go to sleep...even though it still took several more hours to do so. My stomach is in knots...I feel my heart starting to pound...don't know if I want to puke or cry first...perhaps it's time to start that anti-anxiety Rx my Dr called in for me! LMAO. (gotta laugh through all of this, right?) This Dr hasn't really spent much of any time with M. He saw M on Friday after his ER admit Thursday night, but he was so doped up and sleepy from raging all day and then all of the Ativan that he was basically unresponsive. Then he saw him on Monday (yesterday) as a totally different kid. He asked me what my biggest concerns were and I said the raging and the fact that I can't get him anywhere (school, program, psychiatrist, etc). My gut tells me he's got more than anxiety going on, which is why I'm so petrified of the SSRI. But, the Dr is right, we won't know until we try it. In a way, I suppose the success or failure of this medication trial could either help confirm or deny my BiPolar (BP) suspicion. I mean, heck, I'd much rather it just be anxiety and have a simple SSRI be the "fix" than worry about mood stabalizers and possible blood draws and liver enzymes and all of that jazz. There I go rambling again. Sorry. [img]:frown:[/img] [/QUOTE]
