[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 360459, member: 1233"] I am so glad she is going to the hospital. She really needs to be re-evaluated. I would push the hospital to take her off the stimulants and anti-depressants. Tell them when ou take her. Then when they call or you go to speak with them for "family counseling" tell them again. Does the psychiatric hospital call you to get your approval for new medications? When my son was in the psychiatric hospital they called me for each medication change. You may want to write down a list of first line mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Mood stabilizers are lithium, lamictal, and depakote (there is another one or two that I just cannot remember now). Antipsychotics are risperdal, seroquel, abilify, zyprexa, and geodon. I would not ask outright for these medications, but I would ask for them as mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Antipsychotics are to help the aggression and violence. The non-stop screaming, etc.... Whatever medication they suggest, be sure to understand what type of medication it is and what it is supposed to do. Get some current videos of her on your cell phone or whatever. Just snap them today when she cannot get what she wants and flips out. They need to be current or the "experts" will want to believe difficult child when she says she doesn't do that anymore. {{{{{hugs}}}}} I hope the hospital is able to help. Pamper yourself while she is gone, as much as you can. [/QUOTE]
