[QUOTE="cboz, post: 403921"] By changes, that means not just the adding of a new medication, but sometimes the removal of some medications. So, for instance, he would be on 10 mg. of something for a week, then we'd bump up to 15 for 2 days, see a negative result, then back in back down to 10. (That's 3 changes right there - the addition, the bump up, and the bump down). We tried Risperidol for a while, then stopped it after it didn't make a difference over 3 weeks. We initially tried various levels with the medications he was on for 2 years. We made changes with the ADHD medications too, which show pretty quickly if they work well or not. Some caused ticks the first day he was on them, so we didn't try them again. That sort of stuff. [/QUOTE]
