[QUOTE="Shari, post: 170446, member: 1848"] So far, I'm still giving it to him. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is worse than normal or not, but beleive me, eyes are peeled. *** Impulse control is definitely down. Normal progression of difficult child or Strattera induced, I can't say at this point. I do know I've seen him do several things the past weekend, most actually yesterday, that he doesn't normally do anymore. However, impulse control is a come and go kinda thing, anyway. Just yesterday, he... ...was playing with a toy hoe in the sandbox and had the coon out. The coon headed for a tree and difficult child flung the hoe towards him to stop him. ...had his dog on a leash last night and they were running around the yard playing. He joined the dog in a game of chase the cats and chickens. ...threw a toy for the young dog right at the feet of the old dog, which, of course, makes the old dog grumpy when the young dog comes bounding by to get it. ...he repeatedly threw the ball over the fence, where the dog couldn't get it. ...was bouncing himself on the bed, and bounced hard enough to kick me while I was standing at the other end of a full sized bed while he was putting his pj's on. And when its time for his afternoon medications, you know its time for his afternoon medications. He talks and wiggles non-stop, more so than what is "typical", but again, this is a "come and go" thing, too, so I'm not sure if its the Straterra, or just his normal progression of whatever it is that makes him be like this. Again, a couple of years ago, this kinda stuff was common all day every day, now we see it just once in a while. All this was yesterday. None of it terrible, but not the norm, either. *** And it isn't like he really thinks about this stuff, its more like it just pops in his head and he acts on it. Its not calculated (tho he is capable). [/QUOTE]
