Well she was in the hospital for ten days. Released on a couple new meds. Received a call the next day from them telling me to take her off because her level was to high. Her doctor called the day after that and said put her back on them and she couldnt believe they told me to stop a med cold turkey on a child that has siezures allready. She is back on the meds, but is driving me NUTSSS! She is going nonstop. She will not stop talking, sleeps about two hours a night and keeps talking about someone shutting and opening her door and the dolls eyes following her and shadows all over her room. I finally went to a psyc doc before she got out but do not go for a meds apointment till feb. I so need something for my nerves. never took anything like that before but if they dont hurry and get me something Im gonna be the one going into a psyc hospital with a nervous breakdown. I dont think I can deal much longer. HHHEEEEELLLPPPPP!!!!!

Hi,

While you are waiting for a psychiatrist appt (pdoc) , you can see your family doc to talk about whether some some benzos might be appropriate for calming your nerves.
The therapist (tdoc) can help you work out the decisions you are facing. Also you can feel stronger and less alone.

I don't know why they can medicate her so that at the very least she can can full nights of sleep. This sounds like very dangerous territory to me.
Talk to her doctor. If she is not sleeping more than 2 hours a night, she might be back in the hospital soon.

Sorry for the quote.

But first I would talk to the primary doctor about whether these things happening that she is seeing are seizures. Because if they are then she may also need a medicine adjustment for them. Because the shutting and opening of doors could be a seizure.


I would definately want more control on the seizures too.

One-more-day, my heart goes out to you. I can't imagine how you do what you do.
Please start looking out for yourself more. It is amazing how you have managed to hold it together for ten years!
