[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 66159, member: 2287"] Janna, the last blood draw he had his level was 1.2. He's taking 900 mg and hasn't grown any lately. He's been on this dosage about three months. I told myself that this is going to happen once in awhile no matter what medications he takes. We have all kinds of behavior mods in place, but they do little good when he's in the middle of this meltdown. Believe it or not, I got him to sit in timeout for part of the three hours, but he yelled and screamed and jumped and took the cushions off the chair, etc the whole time. He told me this morning that he gets really angry and he can't stop himself. I asked if he could feel it coming on and he said, "Yes.". So we're going to figure what we can do to help diffuse it the next time. Mrs Smith, I'm sure I don't react as I should. If it didn't start with my dogs, I might do better. He shouts and I shout back. After a while all I could do was sit there and look at him...not believing we're in this place. I've been working HARD on detaching a little. It's hard when he still needs me so much....at age eleven. He knows that today all fun summer stuff is postponed due to his behavior (especially since he can remember it all). He HAS to help diffuse these types of situations or it's never going to get better. [/QUOTE]
