Ok-- difficult child has had a tough week
He was on foccalin short acting--switched him to XR
he went from 25mg short acting to 30 mg XR
The reason I switched(from short to XR) is that I thought -- less ups and downs--no visits to the nurse etc. etc. he also had what I think was rebound in the morning-- but we had a handle on it
Anyway--gets XR at 7:30 am lasts until about 5:30
but at about 1:45 he goes through vocal tics-- or at least what I think are vocal tics--uncontrollable noises
then he is ok til 5:30-- then REBOUND city--hyper/noises
He expressed to me today that he was much more "comfortable" on the short acting-- he doesn't like the noises
I don't know what to do. This neurologist is going to think I'm crazy!
Arghhh-- any opinions out there?
