[QUOTE="oceans, post: 29049, member: 2687"] Did you get paperwork describing how the treatment center operated? Did they discuss what medications they were going to try with him before they actually tried it? Did they do any psychological testing before they tried a stimulant? Have you spoken to the treating Dr? I know that at the psychiatric hospital my son was in, we needed to read and sign paperwork and we had a pretty good idea how the place operated. They did psychiatric testing and the DR and Social Worker was always in touch with us whenever they were thinking of a medication change. They explained why they were thinking about the medication change, and asked us permission to try it. We had scheduled meetings to discuss future treatment. I realize that you are not in a psychiatric hospital, but there must have been paperwork to read or discussion about medication trial, right? Is there a social worker there to talk to? If you are not happy, talk to the social worker if there is one. There must be someone who works as a sort of advocate for your sons rights. If this seems to be not in your son's best interests, then see about getting him discharged and into a psychiatric hospital instead. [/QUOTE]
