[QUOTE="bonkers, post: 29030, member: 3521"] difficult child has now been in facility for a week and a half. This is a "treatment center" not a hospitalization... They got his blood on Monday - had to take him to the hospital becuase he refused the staff - but put up no fight for the hospital - he said "It was fun"!!.. BIG SIGH... So they get blood and start him on MPH - Ritilin Short acting on Tueday, and AM and and noon dose of 10 mg each.. Tuesday we arrived in evening (after the medications were susposed to be out of his system) - he was more hyped then we have EVER seen him... all over the place - that evening he actually needed to pout him in a safe room!), distracted, impulsive, by the time we left our heads were swimming and we were fairly well freaked out.... I e-mailed the theripist the next morning with my observations and conserns - after all he was put there for agression and anger - NOT hyperactivity... They are doing hourly reports to doctor on how difficult child is doing on medications... So no response on what they think caused the extreame behavior Tuesday evening by hey - lets put him on an evening dose.. Last night he was almost zombie like, He was withdrawn, had no interest in talking or interacting with us, would not make eye contact... We left feeling angry and depressed... I have e-mailed the theripist today (over 2 hours ago) expreaaing my consern and asking for contact, also requesting he be taken off ritilin and another approch tried, as we did not like what we saw on the two days he was on it! Waiting to hear back! Can anyone advise? We are feeling scared, lost, ticked off and fustrated.... [/QUOTE]
