>Noa - I don't consider hospitalization to be an option but I do agree that it's better to draw my kids into this, if at all necessary, in a non-emergency situation. You have advocated to me on a number of occassions that I ought to be looking for a greater AD effect from my medication. I just wanted you to know that I haven't brushed off that suggestion. Over the last several weeks I've increased the AD I've been on for years hoping it would give me at least a temporary boost. Unfortunately, it hasn't had that effect. I'm reluctant to try more new meds under the supervision of my current pdoc because he intends to fold up his practice in about 2 months. I finally was able to reach a pdoc who has been recommended to me by my therapist, but she can't see me for about 5 weeks. I really wanted someone to take a fresh look at my situation. I'm hoping I've sort of bottomed out for the time being, but if things seem to get worse, I guess I'll let my soon-to-be-retired pdoc prescribe some sort of augmentation drug. I'm not sure what else I can do. ksvt

Now that I have read this, I am absolutely sure I think it is a good idea for the kids to meet with you and the therapist, and your husband, because IF you decide to go into the hospital, they will obviously have to contend with your illness then, and it is better to start a dialogue in a non-emergency situation so that if you decide on hospitalization it doesn't have to be a surprise.
