[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 73250, member: 3199"] Well, I called the psychiatrist who doesn't think this is a mania behavior and doesn't think its related to his medicine. He said he was calling DCFS. This psychiatrist has only seen difficult child 1 twice. He doesn't think it is a mania behavior because difficult child 1 doesn't do the same stuff at school that he does at home. I and the therapist (who has seen difficult child 1 for years) disagree with him. therapist was surprized that psychiatrist called DCFS because this is part of bipolar. I pointed out to psychiatrist that these regular mood swings started when we increased the Risperdal. Before we increased it he would have mood swings but they weren't predictable. Now he is manic in the morning, depressed during the day, and manic at night. I told psychiatrist the behaviors I was seeing at home and why I thought the way I did. I don't think he heard me. I talked psychiatrist into dropping the Metadate. Next I'm going to talk about the Risperdal. Maybe with a different psychiatrist. I don't want difficult child 1 on an ADHD medication without something else to stop it from sending him over the top manic. That is why I tackled the Metadate with the psychiatrist first. I feel like I've had an argument with him. I contacted the principal and teacher. They were very supportive and agreed to watch difficult child 1 like a hawk and to send him to a different teacher's room when ever there is a sub. difficult child 1 has some new rules. No love notes, no gifts (except on Christmas and birthdays), and he can't be alone in a room with a girl. These rules are for all girls he knows. I've contacted my lawyer about this, but haven't heard back from him yet. I'm going to call him tommorrow. I need to know my rights and what his advice is on ex. I called the girls mom and talked with her. She doesn't think anything was weird about difficult child 1's behavior. I don't understand that, but I'm glad she isn't mad at me or difficult child 1. When we saw psychiatrist last I told him about difficult child 1's suicide statements. Then psychiatrist agreed with what therapist had told me that I should acknowledge the feelings difficult child 1 was having, but difficult child 1 still had to have the consequence or chore that he was upset about. Now, when I called him last, he said that I should've taken difficult child 1 to the er right then. If I do this the number of suicide comments will skyrocket. difficult child 1 is doing it to get out of stuff and you can't do the dishes when you're sitting in the er watching their tv waiting for them to see you. Plus, I don't think they would admit a happy smiling kid because his mom says he made a suicide statement. I'll keep you updated. I haven't heard from DCFS yet. [/QUOTE]
