[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 349301, member: 3444"] difficult child 2 has been on Intuniv coming up on 6 weeks. We added this to help with focus and attention, and it seems to be helping him stay on top of things much better at school. psychiatrist wanted me to give it until the end of next week before we consider bumping it up. And to tell you the truth, I think we need to leave it as-is. difficult child 2 has been more irritable and argumentative since going from 1mg to 2mg. At first, I thought it was just a fluke, but he's been like this pretty consistently so I think this is real. Plus, he's had a harder time going to sleep and is up much later than usual. Again, I thought it was just an aberration, but now it's happened enough nights that I feel I can safely say it's the new medication. While it's not a crisis, it's definitely noticeable and I'm not sure if it's something we will be able to manage through talking to him or if we'll have to reduce the dose. I'll let the psychiatrist know next week. It's disappointing to feel like we finally found something to help him with school, only to have it be a negative for his behavior. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
