[QUOTE="RhondaVoos, post: 193268, member: 5868"] Well, it was a great morning. Steven woke up his normal cuddly self (usually only lasts 3-5 minutes before the morning meltdown) Made himself a cup of coffee (he loves the stuff) and sat at the table watching the birds through the window while he drank it. Made himself a bagel with peanut butter and sat and ate it. Got dressed, brushed his teeth and combed his hair. No meltdown.... Now this might not be out of the ordinary for most 10 year olds, but you all know what a glorious morning this was for a Mom of a difficult child. Now, he was fussing and fidgeting and moving at double time chattering all the way for about 30 minutes, but no meltdown. At psychiatric appointment yesterday the Dr warned me that Vyvanse was slower to start, but I didn't notice a difference. Concerta took about 30 min to kick in, but that 30 minutes was unbearable. Practically had to take him by the hand and lead him through the morning routine with a whip and a chair. I am curious to see if this lack of rage has any effect on the number of nightmares he has. It seemed that the worse the rebound got, the more nightmares he had. Now if I can just stop waiting for the other shoe to drop..... [/QUOTE]
