Well im not sure where to start.... My 11 yr old daughter has been dx as BP since about 6. Currently she has been taking Lamictal 100 mg a day and trazadone 50 mg at night to make her sleep. The lamictal as I see it is having no effect. She is manic, combative, narcassitic, self mutilating, depressed at times, aggressive, antagonistic, annoying, anxiety striken... and the list seems to go on. I am sooooo tired of the medication changes that dont have any effect and the upheaveal the she and everyone else goes through at home during these medication withdrawls. I am taking her at 3 pm today to see a new phsychiatrist for an evaluation, with hopes of straitening her out. Recently she snuck out of our home early in the morning while everyone was still asleep and took off on her bike to a gas station out on a 4 lane high way... she was seen by a cop and he brought her home.. on top of the running off she had stolen money out of my purse to go buy chocolates. Which she seems to crave so very much.. 
what i am questioning is do I have the right to request this new doctor try a different medicine even though it may cause problems with her health, i say this because she has been on everything else that is known to put her on... and then some. I want to request that the doctor put her on lithium and maybe give me a script for Thorazine that can be given when she is out of control and hurting herself or others.. I just dont know what else to do. I feel like im in a boat about to sink.. Does anyone have any knowledge of taking injections such as this when your symptoms get really out of hand? |
"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
