[QUOTE="TPaul, post: 307861, member: 8055"] Good morning everyone!!! Sorry that I have not been on sooner. We actually had a pretty calm weekend around here. The medications seemed to have already help difficult child!! I am taking each moment cautiously, but he had a much calmer and happier weekend. The first without a major flair up by difficult child or wife in a very long time. wife's weekend was just a blessing for me because she had no medications to take this weekend, :(. It had just been an amazing coincidence that Candy did not have a melt down this weekend, really!!! She put off going to the clinic to pick up the medications and also going to the pharmacy to get the others for 4 days last week. She had medications till Thursday, but for the rest of the weekend, she just coasted. Gave her money twice for the medications but she spent it on other things. I know that many BiPolar (BP) tend to have money issues, so she does let me control most of the money for the household. When she has not done this she spends hundreds of dollars from her income on non essential things, and then does not have enough left over for obligations. She gets really upset at herself when that happens, to Thank God she lets me help budget her income most of the time. Levi, difficult child, dozed off and on at school on Friday and quite a bit here on Saturday. Amazingly I had absolutely no trouble at all getting him to take his medications and even more amazingly not one bit of trouble at bed time. I usually spend up to two hours keeping him in bed, keeping him from getting up for it seems gallons of water to drink, or a endless trip to the little boys room, etc... It was like night and day the difference this weekend. I am almost giddy from it all. I am trying to keep myself ground, though, because I know that there will still be up and down cycles with him, as there is with his mother. I am going to try to get her to ask her doctor to let her try ambilify to though. If this combo keeps working well with difficult child then it might help even better with her. I can always hope can't I !!!! :funny: Hope everyone has a calm day T. Paul [/QUOTE]
