Hi All, well, I just cant stay away no sense in my closing my account again. Hopefully you all except me back! Ok so here is whats going on... Son off and on better, so is daughter, but son is starting new medications and still in process of going to to be tested ( next month new tests!!!) Son is starting up with more violence and on new medications.
***0.1mg Clonidine ( 1/2 pill am,1/2pill lunch but he refuses lunch pill and breakfast he refuses during school hes scared he will fell asleep) and one whole pill at night. This is for his sleep issues as well as his violence.
***10mg Daytrana Patch over two weeks? and not doing anything, now upped to 15mg the last 4 days and it helped a little more but still struggling with classwork and homework.. couldnt read 20 min a day for book report due end of week... simple age appropriate books and over 4 hours for me to read him the book and explain what it all said. He did is writing and practicing his words fine and quick. Still working on book report again rite now as I type and now hes getting angry because we wont let him stay home because he will get a 0.
Im getting so frustrated with hearing from people he just doesnt want to do it..I don't know what to believe or do!!! Well, besides back to the Dr! Oh, he doesnt get to play if he doesnt finish homework either so he knows I wont budge and he still loves playing outside with the other kids. Yes, I started back with the sticker chart and rewards/privileges again but thats not really working.
So I know the dosage and medications varies with each child for many factors, but overall whats the average mg for an 8 year old? My sons old medications are:
Adderall XR 5MG lil help but only a spec lost weight...
10mg better but extreme violence irritability
Vyvanse 20mg Helped a little great appetite and violence better
*** 30mg Was suppose to take but never did because son gave up on mixing it in liquid/foods wouldnt swallow pill and complained he was sick (only first few days on 20mg and went away)
No the Daytrana patch 10mg over 2 weeks and no difference really 15mg better as mentioned but I dont think were there yet. but maybe once he starts the clonidine in ams full time it will help more? Im trying in the am!!!Again
