[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 227366, member: 2459"] First of all, the next time that happens, you may want to consider asking the doctor what his/her definition of "agitation" is. For me though, when we do medication changes with difficult child and I'm told to watch for things.....I can't tell you myself what to watch for but I know it when I see it. (If that makes any sense at all.) If you're not sure....keep a log of these things and then get with the psychiatrist to see what he/she thinks. Sometime it's things that appear small at the start that are indicators of possible problems. Even if some behavior was clearly provoked or triggered in some way....if the response was a bit more than what you might typically see out of difficult child....document it. Then, when you report back to the doctor...you can say that while trigger X set this off, behavior Y was more intense than the usual. Not sure if any of that made sense but hoped it helped. [/QUOTE]
