[QUOTE="givemesleep, post: 606846, member: 15570"] Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement. The psychiatrist increased his Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) to 300mg 2xday. As we all know it can take weeks before any improvements are seen. I spent most of the hour with the therapist while he was in the waiting room with his Dad. She is going to find a class for restraining him. We did talk about a possible hospitalization, I didn't feel like it would be helpful since the behavior is very "in the moment". If I could only use one word to describe how I'm feeling right now, I would say numb. Last night he got upset because I would not let the dog sleep in his room (he knows she is not allowed to sleep in his room). He went into his room and made a colorful drawing of a cemetery with my name and his dad's on tombstones and a picture of himself with a smile and a comment of, "Yes, their dead forever". I thought I got all the knives locked away. He found a collectible pocket knife and tried to lunge at me with it. Then he threw it at me. Numb, just numb. [/QUOTE]
