[QUOTE="totoro, post: 20267, member: 3155"] Sorry I know the soap opera is hard to keep up with!!! I am so stressed with health care!!! Basically- I have a wonderful Pediatrician, who has been pushing for a local psychiatrist, there are none in the area, we found one in Chicago in November when difficult child was having psychotic episodes and hearing voices and really cycling bad, Pediatrician did not want to start medications without working side by side with a psychiatrist, in the mean time she was pulling every string she could to get us in locally, since then another local psychiatrist has left, and when I say local the closest is an hour away, well Spokane which is 2 hours away has some better facilities available but it is a different state and a farther drive, but that is where I found the psychiatrist who comes highly recemended but was taking apts. months out, so I have one for March 30th. I just called the Chicago psychiatrist's asst, and she is calling in the Cogentin for us, and at this point in the am I have not heard back from psychiatrist or pediatrician yet... so I will go get the Cogentin and start her on that put a call in to the new psychiatrist in Spokane and beg for mercy keep trying my Pediatrician. How do they stop you on Risperdal, I read you slowly stop it... I kind of agree with SRL I am willing to go with nothing for awhile until new psychiatrist if we have to. How long does it take to back them off of it? I agree I think she needs a mood stabilizer as well....I also think we need contact with someone weekly or at least access to someone. Gosh this is stressful... I am biting my nails.... and did not sleep that great... lots of deep breaths. Thanks everyone I honestly don't know what I would do without this site. [/QUOTE]
