[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 526792, member: 2196"] Well last night was just a lil bit better. He crashed out at ten and woke up at four. Still not good. I know he definitely needs more than six hours of sleep. psychiatrist's receptionist called last night and left a message very late (I was sleeping) and said that psychiatrist wants to move him up to 3 mgs to see if that helps. I'm not so sure. If he can't sleep on 2 mgs wouldn't it be even worse at 3? I am going to email psychiatrist again today and request I get a call before nine o'clock so I can actually speak to someone instead of hearing a voicemail. I kept difficult child at 2 mgs today because I am hesitant to move him up to 3 before I can actually speak with psychiatrist. I suppose we can try it and see what happens for one night. One night of bad sleep I suppose won't hurt too much. Still I would like to hear back from psychiatrist first. To answer the question about stimulants, I have not tried him out on one yet because I am very hesitant to do so. difficult child 1 had a psychotic reaction to it. No sleep at all the first night and hallucinating things in her room were trying to kill her. Raged way worse on it too, all just from one damn pill. I hear it can be hereditary so I am very hesitant to try him on a stimulant, and psychiatrist is on board with me on this one. [/QUOTE]
