[QUOTE="klmno, post: 141700, member: 3699"] It is hard for me to say if he is really worse- he was pretty stable until the night he broke into the shed- although there had been an increase in raging, it had not been "severe" raging. So, I am not sure if this is a progression of that or a reaction to medications. psychiatrist raised lithobid dosage about 7 to 10 days ago- over the phone- because I called saying he's raging, can't sleep (went from 9 to 9 1/2 hours to about 5-6 hours, and went into that shed). He is 13 and is gaining weight, so psychiatrist raised dosage without a blood test. He did say that as he "calms", a blood test would be needed, but, difficult child had been on 1200 mg of lithium before and was in therapuetic range, and we just raised from 900 to 1200 mg of lithobid. I thought it would be ok. He weighed about 15 lbs less when he was on the lithium carbonate. psychiatrist did mention seroquel and others- I think he got my point that we need a pro-active approach. With my difficult child, this can go from "there is no problem- why is Mom accusing him of things" to "OMG he is CHO" in one month. [/QUOTE]
