[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529282, member: 12886"] Usually they can't give themselves medications except after a certain age they can sometimes, with signed permission take a tylenol or advil type of medication (our district does that). No way he would be allowed to give himself clonidine, imagine if he dropped one and another kid took it? Or if he had a blood pressure issue and the school didn't know??? Anyway, my son has been on clonidine for a long time. If it works for him and want a more even administration of it, we use patches (changed weekly). Even before I adopted Q, this was the medication they were using with him as a toddler (very very small dose). We didn't need it for a long time then started it again in fifth grade. As hard as things can get around here, without that medication...he can't be not aggressive. It is the one that has helped the most with that issue. Of course everyone has different experiences and like with any medication you will hear some kids have issues and some don't. Anyway, I am so sorry there was so much drama. We had a police/ambulance ride last Sun too and I am still recovering....just really a lot to go through --- wanting them to be in a better place so desperately. I hope the medication helps at least for now until you figure out what to do next. [/QUOTE]
