[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 302928, member: 3184"] Ok, try to addresss all the questions. difficult child has had extensive speech therapy, just graduated in 5th grade from it. He was evaled by the school and also had an independent evaluation. He still has speech issues mainly due to impulsivity in the area of fluency. He has Occupational Therapist (OT) weekly (once school gets in a good rythm and the field trip is done) by an independent person, not through the schools. I am fortunate to have good insurance that covers this and his counselor visits. Poor kid will be busy this school year, with Occupational Therapist (OT), therapy and then he wants to do basketball and wrestling! He was on 4mg of abilify before Thursday and it did wonders for him. He was doing great for the last 3 months, but I think the beginning of school and going hunting with daddy and having his schedule thrown off from that have caught up with him. I don't think the abilify is causing the mood issues, I think that he needs to get back on a schedule and a small bump in medications might help too. psychiatrist does not want to increase the Lamictal, he is on 250mg. psychiatrist says his gut tells him not to, and I agree. I think I may e-mail psychiatrist and cut the pills in half like you do toto, I think that would help. But the problem is the scrip says 1 pill a day and he goes on that field trip next week and they have to go by what the bottle says. I think I will wait and see, adn then change after the field trip. I don't think I could get a different scrip by the time he leaves on Wednesday, that would be hard. I so wanted to have this udner control before school started. [/QUOTE]
