[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 246243, member: 1991"] You had me a bit confused with hypOmania - if it's over the top, it would be hypERmania. WHich stimulant is it again? Not that it matters a great deal, you can get rebound with any of them. And what you seem to be wondering about, would be rebound. That's when it seems that all the bahviour that the stimulant controls, seems to have been saved up to hit you with when the stimulant wears off. So that evening it's bad. The next day - not usually, stimulants are supposed to wear off fairly quickly. However, if you didn't dose him the next day you could have a slight increase in any reboud. Usually the next day's dose cuts it off. The other possibility - what you saw is what he is like without stimulants. I think it's fairly typical, for our difficult children to make friends with the kids who have pushed their buttons, especially if it's another difficult child like them. What can happen - kids get on one another's nerves because they misunderstand one another and mistake annoying behaviour for deliberate teasing. Once they realise where the other guy is coming form, they often do a turnaround in attitude to that person. I've seen it with a classmate of difficult child 3's, a boy who was very aggressive, very touchy and reactive. But once he realised that difficult child 3 wasn't "having a go" at him, he turned around and is now very friendly, very supportive of difficult child 3, like a big brother. Similar things happened with difficult child 1 - his best friends in school were horrors. The teachers were afraid of them. One in particular, a large lad with an expressionless face, had teachers terrified. I had to ban a couple of difficult child 1's frienids from the house because I didn't trust tem around difficult child 3. No problem with the large boy, though. Everyone else may have been scared of him, but I never was because Icould see that he wasn't a threat. He ended up being Best Man at difficult child 1's wedding, they are all still good friends. The other possibility - sometimes a bully can pretend to be a friend, for some personal advantage. But it doesn't sound like this here. What you are describing sounds to me to simply be a day without medications. Stimulants also keep a kid more awake. When difficult child 3 misses his medications for a day, he is all over the place, talks non-stop, eats everything he can get his hands on and falls asleep early. Hope this helps. Marg [/QUOTE]
