[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 30039, member: 3211"] Thanks to everyone who read my very long post and responded. Your support is immeasurable and so appreciated. Gosh, I see that I never updated my profile as far as difficult child's zoloft is concerned. We discontinued that something like 8+ weeks ago because he had a very bad episode back then - nothing like this past one, but bad enough. psychiatrist decided then to wean him off the zoloft then. I just took it off my profile. I know you are not supposed to just discontinue the lithium, but because he had already been without it, we took the chance. I also know what to be looking for and would without hesitation take him to the e.r. if necessary. Honestly, we haven't seen any change in him. He says he's not so "glum". His psychiatrist has called me several times each day since Thursday. It has been stressful watching and waiting, but so far so good. I never thought of the possibility of there being a Ronald McDonald house. That might be possible. I can't even really think about what it would be like to have difficult child so far away for an unknown period of time. We have been lucky that when he has been inpatient in the past, there was always a bed for him at the psychiatric hospital only 45 minutes away from here - either husband or I went down to see him almost every evening - and we all went on the weekends. At the same time, the extensive neuropsychologist testing and 24/7 supervision would be beneficial. Thanks again to all of you. I will be on pins and needles for the next few days until we know what we are doing. [/QUOTE]
