[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 212146, member: 3184"] Marg, we have talked about it. This time he said it was almost off, so he pulled it off the rest of the way. I told him to leave them on from now on. He does not realize he has a problem, but if I tell him your idea of does everybody else have a problem? He will say yes. He has no awareness (gaining a little) of his own behavior. He blames everyone else for his problems. He is making progress here too, but it is very little. It is much better when he is medicated. He then is reasonable, but it is very hard to try to reason with an unreasonable bouncing off the walls kid. He cannot concentrate on one thing more than a millisecond He is to start therapy next week, and maybe that will help with acceptance of a probem. Sometimes the patch does make his skin pink (not red) when it is removed. Goes away within 45minutes to an hour. He has a hard time tolerating the oral medications, as they dump so much medication in his system at one time that the side effects are just too much. With many time release medication they dump 50% of the medication right away (or other amount) and the other 50% 4-6 hrs later. That is just too much for him. The patch releases in a more controlled manner, and we don't get the side effects, the rebound, and the appetite loss is not as severe. We really have to watch that difficult child eats enough, as he is pretty small. I would love it if difficult child would be open about his feelings, I would love it if he would be honest period. Again, baby steps. He did admit to me he took the patch off and why. I think some of the why is that it makes him feel different to have to wear the patch, and I think some of it may have been that it was falling off, does happen, but it did stay on in the bathtub yesterday. On the other had he does not want to take pills. He takes so many (supplements) already that he hates them. That is a statement I like. You know Marg, what is hardest is that when I need to talk to him about taking his patch off is when he took it off, but those are the times that it really would not do any good, as he is so off the wall.
