[QUOTE="rdland, post: 485343, member: 13272"] It is a capsule that I pour the contents into liquid or food....but in food he does worse. I had it in juice yesterday which is the best way he takes it. I spoke to his counselor who works in the group his psychiatrist is in and asked if we could stop the medication due to the scary depression and aggression that has popped up the last few days and she agreed it is best. He is MUCH better today off it! He is happy, hyper, and un-focused but that is just fine! So he is back to acting like he did at home before we started medications. He did have 2 episodes this am where I really thought he was gonna lose it but I was able to calmly talk him down and it did not escalate. Now last night while on medication I was NOT able to talk him down at all and he got pretty scary. I realize it will be days before all of it is out of his system but we already see the sparkle back in his eyes. Now to see what medication we try next! I am dreading telling the school Monday he is medication free as I know they will have an opinion but whatever. I am his mom and it is my job to make decisions not theirs! Got the report for all the evaluations for his IEP. As I knew he qualifies so once I sign we will start meetings to do it. Interesting that his main teacher that I do not like scored him harshly on some things and his reading/language/spelling teacher who I love scored much lower. I am also not thrilled with the guidance counselors write up on the chain of events as she makes it seem like we were harming him for not having him admitting at a psychiatric hospital the 2 times we refused. Never mind that the psychiatrist at the acute partial hospitalization program said it was not needed AND the 2 other psychiatrist we saw in that time frame said is was overkill and not needed. I just hate this woman!! [/QUOTE]
