And coincidentally, our psychiatrist rx's this off-label for difficult child 2 in place of Intuniv to help with focus and attention because it is not sedating like Intuniv is. I have to say, after the ramp up that took several weeks, difficult child 2 seems to really be improving. He doesn't fall asleep in class. He gets his homework done. He's not taking naps after school every day. It really has helped him. I had no idea about the benefits it has for brain injury recovery.

Now I'm wondering if it would be a good medication for husband...

That's kinda what I was thinking. Not to mention the damage seizures do. Though he hasn't really had any since we doubled up on AE's. I just thought it was interesting, plus it may explain some of the improvements I've seen in difficult child 2 this year.
