[QUOTE="Andy, post: 180373, member: 5096"] You are having such a hard time with this. I am glad your doctor saw you right away. Whenever you are doubting having done this, think, "If I hadn't admitted difficult child to psychiatric hospital, what would we be doing right now?" The answer may be dealing with yet another meltdown. Also, phosps will not admit anyone that does not meet the criteria. They want what is best for your child and what is best is determined by admission assessments. The acting out with staff scares you, however, it is a small comfort in that staff can "see" the worse behaviors and document in a way that difficult child will get the proper diagnosis. They know the terminology needed to make diagnosis. If the cutting Adderall cold turkey worries you, ask to talk to the charge nurse about it. Discuss with the nurse also about his not seeming normal. Could that also be a side effect of withdrawal from the Adderall? I think journaling here will help as you put concerns in writing. Once something is in writing, it seems so much easier to tackle - not so vague anymore. Looking forward to your next update. [/QUOTE]
