[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 542056, member: 3419"] Well, difficult child told me tonight that he thinks the lithium is making him sick. He said it makes him talk too much, that his moods change too quickly--i.e. he wants to make me happy, then scream at me the next minute (I said "You've always been like that"), it makes him sweaty, and then he gets chills, and he gets stomach aches. Well, forget the stomach ache. He ate a box of 42 pcs of pizza bites the other night. WHEAT. As far as temp, he was boiling tonight. And then he did get a chill and I could see his goosebumps. As far as talkativeness, I told him I LIKe it because he's a part of the family and we know what he's thinking. He said he talks too much and it bugs him. I said I understand, but it's better than the way he used to be, and then I imitated him, shoulders hunched, eyes to the ground, silent. He just shook his head and said it was too much. So, I think we're on the right track. Even if lithium doesn't work, I do see positive changes. I also see where he's not comfortable in his own skin. This is quite an adjustment for him. One day at a time. [/QUOTE]
