[QUOTE="fiendish, post: 171599, member: 5310"] Hmmm, that's interesting. My brother is also aspie and has always had strange reactions to medications. It has to be neurological. We've been doing 12.5 in evening and 7 (quarter tab) in the AM and it is definitely helping him sleep, though I can't really tell if it's doing anything during the day. He's gone into total hyper manic mode lately too--he's being really defiant and he really hasn't done that before, at least not to this extent. He gets really ramped up and races around slamming himself into the wall and giggling and screaming No! and I'm not going to! and just laughing, but it's really bizarre. I've had to lie down on him to get him to calm down. Needless to say, he cannot slam himself into the wall and I cannot lie down on him after open heart surgery. I've talked to some people at the hospital and some other moms whose kids have conduct issues and they got ativan when they were out of control, so that's what we'll be doing through the hospitalization. He's taking it pretty well on the surface (we've done all kinds of prep, slowly, this week) but I'm sure the manic behavior is how he reacts. Also, he's basically stopped eating. He eats two bites of things and is down to about 3 foods. He's going to be hellishly skinny when this is all done :( I even got him some pickle pops (he does like pickles, strong flavors: here's the link: [url]http://bobspicklepops.com/[/url]) and he ate half of one, at least. We are leaving on Sunday and the pre-op is monday. [/QUOTE]
