[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 298784, member: 3184"] drum rollllll......wil be Adderrall. Yeah. Let's hope it works for him better than difficult child. husband has been sleeping 12 to 15hrs a day. Not really depressed, and once he is up he is not groggy or sleepy. But he cannot even take his medication that he is supposed to take 3x/day because he is not awake for long enough. psychiatrist is hoping that if husband takes Adderall before bed he will not sleep at all, and then he is supposed to take it when he wakes up too. I am really really leary of this. I do not think husband is stable, and I think this is a bad time to add a stimulant. At the same time I have to be careful how much I voice my opinion to husband as he will listen and I do not want to second guess this doctor to husband, I only do that here on the board. I really do think psychiatrist overall does a good job with husband, and I know that husband trusts him and will talk to him. He also listens to me when I have gone to appts with husband, and when I don't go I send along a little written report that husband and I do up. I also have checked up on this doctor with various friends that work in the local psychiatric unit, and everyone loves him and thinks he is great. I guess we will wait and see. I just so hate this **** shoot of trying to find the right medications. [/QUOTE]
