[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476135, member: 12886"] This happens to Q. He HAS to be dosed at 3.5 hours if he uses short acting ritalin or he just falls off the deep end of hyperactivity (not rage stuff, just totally WILD and can't follow a direction to save his life, literally). One of the big reasons we are looking for supportive medications right now is that he is on such high doses of Ritalin/concerta and clonidine. These both can cause serious cardiac issues and blood pressure issues. He has to be monitored a lot and we were told that since he has been on for 10 years it is pretty serious. He seems fine now but even in the hospital, pulse rates and BiPolar (BP) have once in a while shot up and it didn't seem to be related to any upset or anything. It doesn't make sense that there would NOT be a risk with such a serious brain altering medication. All I can say is, despite the fears, thank God it is available because without it we have no chance right now at our house. [/QUOTE]
