[QUOTE="witzend, post: 178187, member: 99"] Well, DUH! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I was going to say that when M was on one of his medications and stopped, he got so much worse. I can't remember what it was, but it was an AD. We tried getting him back on that one, but it never worked the way it did before he stopped. We talked to the psychiatrist about it, and he said that it is possible for chemical changes to occur after use, and after stopping, that make it less effective if you try to stop it again. It's been some time, so I'm probably not explaining it as well as I could. But, I think it's right on to be concerned about the medications change, and I wouldn't let my guard down just because he was back on the medications. It may not help him the way it did before. That's one reason I am against taking kids off of medications in the summer or weekends. They can totally lose their effectiveness when restarted. AFTR makes some very good observations. Do what you have to to get him stablized ASAP. For right now, the why doesn't matter. Although it would probably be helpful to know, if you can figure it out... [/QUOTE]
