[QUOTE="Janna, post: 88587, member: 2737"] Thank you, everyone. So nice to see you, also, Linda. I have missed you. Jannie, he is being weaned off the Lithium now. He's down to 600 mg a day from 1050. At 1050 mg he was around a .9 - 1.1 level, which seemed to be doing something. If anything, it was helping keep him level. What I mean is, the tantrums did go away, and I do think it helped alot with his mood issues, but it did nothing for the "mania", which turns out to be extreme hyperactivity. The last time he was on 600 mg a day, his level was .48, which isn't even hospital theraputic, never mind for a BiPolar (BP)'er. It's just weaning him off, but it's not doing anything. Yep, Emotional Support, same deal as before. They, voluntarily, are giving him MORE homework than the school was when he was there last year LOL! Nice. He's working below capability. He said the work is way too easy, and it is. He can do 7th grade spelling words, and is doing 4th grade. He's in 5th LOL! Whatever. I'm not even worrying about school right now. I'll worry about that over winter when his discharge comes closer. He's not gonna be a Deans List student any time soon, so whatever. As long as he can stay grade level, I'm happy. I don't need a genius on my hands. I took Jared off the Concerta, not intentionally. The psychiatrist office is being more and more complicated as time goes by. His hours are cut down more and more, and I couldn't get in there for a visit. So, Jared is off it, but not by my choice. He needs it. He's been struggling the last several weeks. There is no denial of his diagnosis, and he has to get those pills LOL! It's a matter of me being able to get in there, and the doctor actually having an appointment open. So, next week he sees psychiatrist, and next week he'll go right back on LOL! I did an unintentional experiement, and tell ya what, he wasn't wrong with this kid LOL! LOL! Thanks everyone. It's nice to see you. I don't have a whole lotta time lately, but when I do, I do read. J [/QUOTE]
