[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 178493, member: 1550"] Egads! What a mess! Well, I live in a rural part of Wisconsin, so we travel an hour for services. Do you have any university hospitals near you? Frankly, I think you are getting crummy services and I don't think the psychiatrist or the therapist have a clue. If he is already thinking far in advance about medication...that kind of gives me the shudders. What about interventions? Does he think he can medicate this away? Does he even know what he is dealing with? We had to wait a long time to get into the neuropsychologist but it was worth the long wait because he knew what he was talking about (unlike (ahem) almost all the other professionals). In fact, Psychiatrist started blaming me when son wasn't better. It got silly. I've been a patient myself since I have mood disorder problems, and I can spot a rotten P-doctor and t-doctor a mile away. I don't like being their guinea pig "(Ah, let me try thees knew medication...and see what happens...) I mean, would he medicate his own wife or child that way? Or would he want to know WHAT he is medicating? Bet you he'd make sure he saw a great neuropsychologist before he tossed the gamut of medications at his own loved one. I mean, he keeps throwing ADHD stims at your child (that aren't working) and now he's got him on a heavy duty bipolar medication (Depakote, which can cause cognitive dulling--and DID with my daughter) and he's thinking of Risperdal (and anti-psychotic also used often for bipolar) and he's thinking of Prozac (which can make bipolar worse and even cause psychosis). Does he have a list of medications he prescribes in an order? LOL. Sorry. Too many p-docs are like this. Can't tell you how many horrific reactions I personally have had to medication-happy doctors who didn't really know what was wrong with me. Even if it's far away, I still recommend a THOROUGH neuropsychologist Evaluation. They take anywhere from six to ten hours, but you will get much more out of it.
