[QUOTE="PorcupineWhisperer, post: 298162, member: 62"] In regard to the bedwetting, difficult child was dry three out of the seven days. A decent improvement since he was only dry one night the previous week on DDAVP (the DDAVP was stopped before the Focalin was started). His dryness seemed to alternate one dry night, one wet night etc. Since he's taking the Focalin early in the morning and is on such a small dose, it may not be being as effective by the time that he goes to bed. His mood is definitely brighter and instead of being calm and focused as one would expect from a stimulant, he is very hyper, impulsive and well....goofy. :) His mother describes him as acting like a big 6 year old at times. There was one incident where he got 'stuck' when he was asked to clean the kitchen. He refused to do the chore and kept following his mom around trying to explain why he shouldn't have to do the task. While there was no raging involved, difficult child was non compliant for about an hour or so and wouldn't/couldn't stop trying to explain his case even when his mom asked for some space. Eventually he went to his room and was able to get things together and had no further trouble (other than being really hyper). Mom is going to shift the Focalin to closer to noon to see if that has any effect on the bedwetting. My guess is that we may end up doing something like 2.5 in the morning and 2.5 in the afternoon/evening to try to address the bedwetting and the lessen the other effects. We'll see - stay tuned :) [/QUOTE]
