[QUOTE="MissJuneBug, post: 710399, member: 21628"] I can and have send his psychiatrist an email. His therapist knows and works closely with the psychiatrist and has a call into him also. Was your son tested for Narcolepsy? Mine had very pronounced sleep latency test results. Several years later we saw a sleep specialist who also publishes a ton of research on narcolepsy. We were lucky to get him in to see her. She doesn't take many new patients but she was intrigued by his case. She did a spinal tap and the results came back positive for a form of narcolepsy. At this point there is no doubt he has it. And all of that testing was done before he started on the pysch medications. My concern is some of the medications the psychiatrist put him last fall on can also cause grogginess the next morning - though he was on all those medications last semester and was able to be out of the house at 6am every morning for his 1.5 hour commute to college. In my opinion, even slow growth is a great sign. Some of these kids (esp. boys) don't reach full brain maturity until age 25 or so. I think that's particularly true with kids who have psychiatric issues. [/QUOTE]
