[QUOTE="klmno, post: 285215, member: 3699"] No, they haven't started any decrease yet. They haven't even stopped the tegretol yet which he was already taken off of and not supposed to be on. It keeps him tired all the time and was only listed as a PRN while starting the seroquel (on top of lithobid) if the seroquel didn't help him. Even he is in agreement that the tegretol should be stopped since it was Department of Juvenile Justice psychiatrists that got that wrong. Anyway, I suspect he had a bad day due to changing to 9th grade classes, having to start a more hectic schedule with JROTC, and it being hot and so forth. He might be cycling, too, but it doesn't typically happen this time of year. I'm going to see if he stays in this frame of mind for a while or if it was just a cranky day. As far as stopping/trialing the remioval of medications, the head therapist of the place and I (and apparantly psychiatrist) are in agreement on trying it. I think it's 50/50 whether or not difficult child is BiPolar (BP) but it could help a great deal if it is "proven" (as much as possible) by Department of Juvenile Justice and all their disciplines, including sd, get on board with it. Do you have any idea how much I've had to deal with PO's (now parole officer), sd people, etc, acting like this is just one big excuse that they don't want to hear about or deal with? That would be fine except that they way our juvenile system works here, these are the people in control of our lives when difficult child is at home. If they aren't in agreement, it doesn't get appropriately addressed, as we saw with the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) issue. So, if he came out of Department of Juvenile Justice either off medications and no BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, or on medications and THEM saying he's BiPolar (BP), I would be ecstatic!
