[QUOTE="Andy, post: 196164, member: 5096"] Thank you! Klmno - I need to get difficult child to the library soon for a computer project - I will check for the Explosive Child book. I can always use more info on this. It may help me find a new and better way. Fairly - Yes, you are right. Just hard to tell if it is withdrawal or because he really does still need it. You know how it is - so hard to watch our kids suffer when we know that giving a medication will make the pain go away. It sounds like you went through that for a long time. I hope I can be a warrior mom like you when/if we face those long periods of withdrawal. I called the doctor's office to report Wednesday's issues. When I called this morning to report that difficult child has very much improved and no problems at all on Thursday, there was a message from the doctor that said we should go back up to 30 mg based on difficult child being nervous about going off and wait until Spring to go off (Summer vacation). I told the nurse that difficult child is feeling better about it and in face of yesterday's great day I want to continue. If we have any major problems over the weekend, then I will reconsider. He has not felt weird yesterday or today so I don't forsee any problems. We do expect a little next month from 20 - 10 and if there will be issues more likely the month following with 10 - 10 every other day and/or completly off. I told difficult child that it is healthier to be off medications if it works and he is willing to try, "Whatever you think is best mom". I think he can somewhat understand withdrawals though it is hard to accept while going through them. [/QUOTE]
