Awful day for son! :(

[KissAmeGal]

It all started with not wanting to go to school. It went on for about an hour! him yelling at me and telling me that he was NOT going to school. He does this just about every day that i have off, and all heck breaks loose when i don't give in. well today, while i was on the phone with the police dept., to get someone over here to talk to him to calm him down, he went in the kitchen, got the scissors, and went in his room with them. the dispatcher could hear him yelling in the background. he wouldn't give the scissors back until about the 5th time that i asked for them, and he said the only reason he gave them to me is because his 3 yr. old sister was here!
well.........needless to say........for what he did, he was bakeracted to the behavioral center. and when you get bakeracted, you stay there atleast 72 hours, and the only one that can release you is the doctor.
I know it's something that needed to be done, he gets soooo angry over little things, but i feel awful, and have an empty feeling inside. it feels strange not having him home and all's i do is think about him, what he's doing and how he's doing there. we were there for a bit til they finally got him admitted and in a room.......OH GOD i hated it when it was time for him to go back. i hugged him sooooo hard and told him i loved him, and he did the same. then he told me.....it's ok mom. i just so hope this helps him and doesn't make matters worse in any way.
sorry for the long vent, but thx for listening

and to add to it all.......his birthday is thursday and he won't be home

Its ok. You did the right thing. If he doesn't get treatment now, it will be even harder for him further down the line.

went to family meeting today with social worked.....she just basically let me know what all they are doing for my son. I also got to see him! it wasn't what i was expecting......i thought he would be all upset with me, and want and beg to come home. But.........he was fine, seemed happier, and was ok with the fact, that he can't come home til they figure out what is going on with him.
they(nurse) called me this afternoon to let me know that he saw the doctor and she wants to start him on Abilify....5mg in the evening. and she d/c'd all the other meds he was on....depakote, concerta & trazadone. so now he'll need to be there for atleast for a couple more days, to make sure this is right for him and he has no side affects.
i told them that i am willing to do anything for him, and try anything we need to try.......that we haven't already.........to help him and make things better.
I was reading on this Abilify, and it seems to supposedly work for ALL his problems, rather than taking the others that he was taking...3 pills a day.....the Abilify is only 1x a day....in the evening. I sooooo hope THIS works for him!! :::::::::::sigh::::::::::::
The NP that he's been seeing had talked about, that if what he WAS on didn't work for him, she was going to start him on the Abilify. But unfortunately.......we had to go this route.
take care eveyone ((((((hugs)))))

I sure hope it works for him, too!

Stopping the antidepressant & Concerta was a good idea. Both can cause agitation, rage, and manic behavior.

Best of luck.
