[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 516098, member: 1514"] Buddy...I am just going to brainstorm somethings with you and you can just take and pick what you think might be something that could work for you. Number one I think you need something that will let you be on a more even keel for awhile. I suggest long acting xanax that you can take at night and will last 24 hours. Start with 1 or 2 mgs and it will work well on you. Has Q ever tried one of the benzo's for his anxiety? He seems really over the top with it and it may be something you might want to consider asking the doctor about. There is buspar if you dont want to go with a benzo but if you do just want to do a prn medication, they have a klonopin melt tab that you could get into him that would act quickly because it enters the bloodstream through the mucus system in the mouth. As far as him playing him playing outside and you having to be there. I am assuming you are sitting on your front stoop or front yard someplace. Do you have your laptop with you or an ebook reader that you can take with you? You can put ereader software on your phone if you dont have an ereader and sit there and read a book. To set the time for him so you dont have to call him and possibly embarrass him in front of his friends, get a light bulb holder that you can put three light bulbs in...one green, one yellow and one red. He is used to that pattern. When green is on he knows he is free to play. If you see that the playing is getting a little rough or out of hand...you could simply blow a whistle and turn the light to yellow. When he calms back down..turn it back to green. When it is time to start winding down...yell down to him that he has 15 minutes left to play...or text him....and turn the light to yellow. Then when it is time to come in turn the light to red. He is expected to come in to the house when the light is on red within 10 minutes and he gets a treat. If he doesnt, he misses his treat and you have to go get him. For right now I would just make the punishment be missing the treat.. Make the treat something he likes....say little debbie snack cakes or a popcycle or something like that.
