[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 424058, member: 7948"] It's not a bad idea to call and try to talk to the neuropsychologist people about changing his medications. However, if your son is unable to sit still, concentrate, cooperate with lengthy testing periods (1+ hours), in general function at least well enough to make a reasonably sustained attempt at the pencil/paper cognitive parts of the assessment and to cooperate with any other kinds of testing/assessment the neuropsychologist people want to do - that may be a problem. If you doubt his ability to cooperate with the assessment process, then I think you should ask the neuropsychologist people about that in the same conversation as you talk with them about changing his medications. I wonder if they will think it's better to change medications now than to do it a week or a few days before the scheduled appointments should his behavior/mood worsen. Gives time for him to react to the medication before they see him. Hopefully they won't put it back onto your current psychiatrist to either contact them or figure it out. Patricia [/QUOTE]
