[QUOTE="Thinking Outside the Box, post: 315866, member: 8210"] So hard to see your own child so sedated they seem to just disappear right in front of you. My difficult child 2 has been on just about every medication and is now on Geodon 20 mg. 3x's a day and vyvanse 30mg. 1 x daily. Therapist and doctor thought that the Geodon needed to be increased to 3x's a day to keep it more consistent in his system. He was on Geodon 40 mg and it knocked him out and he just couldn't seem to wake himself up to function and he was consistently falling asleep in school. The 20mgs is working, even though he takes it 3 times. I will not lie, his behavior is so disgusting, overwhelming to the extreme, but compared to what it was, at least we can see a little more of the good things. Before he started with this new doctor and therapist, he was on 5 mgs of Melatonin for sleep and it worked wonderful and he was able to wake up no problem! Good luck and my apologies, as advice is not my strong suit. Melinda [/QUOTE]
