[QUOTE="buddy, post: 508206, member: 12886"] I agree Susie, he has had people coach him to buy things and yes I appreciate it and love him up for it.... But on his own he has never done that. (and this year he just flat out refused, didn't even make cards for me at school) So, when HE brought it up, I was pretty excited and gave him the cash.... Of course I dont care who paid for it, that right now is not the lesson. As you said, he is just learning to consider someone elses feelings. I got a ton of hugs too. Sadly, it all got better after I gave him his afternoon dose of Ritalin....I gave it a little early since he was so showing a lack of impulse control.... and he did great I am sure because a little of the concerta was still there added to the Ritalin (which is fine, doctors gave me a time window... but I usually push it out, today I didn't). Same story as it was when he went to the hospital.... due to his growth the dose of concerta he is on is not enough but no one will increase it due to the high dose he is on..... Not that I want his life at risk but it is so sad that they feel it is ok to put him on all of these other medications that are causing multiple other health issues and simply aren't working... and they are in addition to the concerta/clonidine combo..... yet the slight risk of upping what we know works, will improve his quality of life (not to mention everyone else's) and by the way, he has constant heart checks and blood work and everything is great. Sorry for the vent, just sometimes I get so torn.... of course I dont want his life at risk, but isn't it anyway with Lithium and increased Lyrica??? HE is on FIVE times the Lyrica he was on because the Lithium lowered his seizure threshold. And all the issues with Lithium... forthe limited benefit I think we see (hard to know because I dont know if the pre hospital/during hospital behavior might come back without it for sure, but since it only happened with the medication reaction to Lamictal I suspect it would not go to that extreme) We will definately be working on this in June.
