hi maryland
the mood stablilizer he is on is trileptol. he is on such a low dose. when we first put him on it, he seemed to sleep better, but didnt really notice any changes in him behavior wise, now two weeks into it, he is off his rocker.
we dont know if it the med or not.
the psych felt that he just throws garbage out of his mouth when he is angry, she talked to him for about 1 hour.
he said he loves living here and this is where he wants to be (i was in the other room listening in)
he is very verbal, he said he doesnt like to get angry but then he cant stop it. he told her the plans we have in place and that helps him (though when he is angry, it doesnt work)
also, i kept pushing the bi-polar dx and they keep telling me they dont think he is because of the control he has. they said that bipolar kids cant pick and choose when they are going to act out.
plus, during one of his rages the other day, he picked up a rock to throw at his brother and i told him to put the rock down and dont throw it....he did throw out, but didnt throw it at his brother....because he had control
then comes the (RAD) attachment stuff....everyone who has seen him, say he is attached to us and basically its all PTSD issues. but i cant believe that thats all it is
even the psych who met him felt he did not have RAD, she has met alot of RAD kids due to going to peoples home in crisis and dealing with some of these children.
she said he is definitly not RAD and clearly has attached to us.
so what does that leave us with?...its so frustrating, maybe it is just PTSD, i dont know....i dont have anything to compare it to...
but the minute i pick him up in the car...it starts...unwinds like a top...i know he is not crazy about his camp this year...but he wont tell me why, he says he just doesnt like it...but then sometimes he does.
the camp last year had all these wonderful things, and we kept him in this camp this year, because he was familiar with because it served as an afterschool program too.
we thought we would just keep him there due too one less transition.
who knows?....we have an appt for him for his therapist today, and maybe she can figure out whats going on.
thanks for your ongoing support, its always great to hear from people who 'did that done that'
