[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 227609"] The reservations on the seroquel is because we went to our GP. difficult child is so volatile in this area. She wanted to go to the doctor about sleep, but when the doctor asked her if she would take medication, difficult child responded, "I don't know." :hammer: Does she expect the doctor to have fairy dust? In any case, she's not comfortable prescribing anything because nothing along these lines is FDA approved for children. She spent an hour talking to difficult child and I *think* we have her willing to go to a psychiatrist. She offered a sleep doctor thinking difficult child might be more willing, but told her that since her problem is in falling asleep she doesn't think there is nothing they can do because none of the sleep medications are approved for kids. After going round and round and difficult child fluctuating between hostility, apathy and shutting down, it seems we managed to convince her to see a psychiatrist. :bloodshot: I wanted to go to Children's Behavioral Health. While I had a hard time getting through to county mental health and was then told there was a wait of like 6 months, my GP said they told her not to long ago it was about 2 weeks. :angry::angry: But, the wait at Children's is a couple of months at least. So, I called and left another message with intake at mental helath today. We'll see how many times I have to call this time. :warrior: Gcvmom - MR/daughter is Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Board. They offer interventions and services, educational aides, etc. How good they are varies from county to county, but ours is supposed to be really good. [/QUOTE]
