[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 659822, member: 13260"] WitsEnd, the psychiatric said since the stims were not doing any good and they were fast in, fast out, we could stop them, unlike something like guafacine (Intuniv, Tenex, and others). My signature has that info in it. What is baseline? We sure don't know. We were trying to find it, but we really don't know. It's so heartbreaking to watch a sweet child that you love more than your own life turn into this nasty, mean creature. His younger sister has to set up her play things near me so I can guard her from his interference. Today alone, I've been repeatedly told to eff off (only the real word was used), called the equivalent of a female dog, he put his hand on my forehead and pushed my head back and this was all because...drum roll...wait for it...I told him it was time to get dressed so we could go to play a new park that he's been wanting to see. No demands can ever be made. What I actually did was put the clothes next to him and said we were going to the park so getting dressed could be his idea. Charming. He's due to up the dose of Intuniv from 1mg to 2mg per day tomorrow. I hate seeing the sleepiness, but jeesh, at least we all get a break. And yesterday, he chewed the pill instead of swallowing it whole. Sigh. So, since we give it to him at night, my poor daughter had to rouse him every 15 minutes for a few hours and take his pulse. And she had to get up at 5:30 to get ready for work. We are all so exhausted. He's fine, at least physically. The rest of us feel like we are in a war zone and desperately wanting a cease fire, but with none in sight. [/QUOTE]
