[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 337976"] difficult child has extreme anxiety..And the past two weeks he was taking Vyvanse because it was end of the quarter and he had a lot of work to get in, plus he was being weaned off of Zoloft. psychiatrist said to cut the dose in half, which he did, I was not aware until yesterday that he cut it in half (from 100mg's to 50mg's) for only 5 days then he quit all together. I was not aware of that. I put it out every morning. After the final grades were posted yesterday and he saw that he passed all classes (with a B and C's) he was in a really good mood. He was at girlfriend's house last night playing games with her family. When husband picked him up he was so happy. We put the medicine out and told him he needed to take it. I see he did not take the abilify, because that is a sample pack. Don't know if he took the others, as they are in a pill bottle. I hope he did. husband and I talked last night about the medicine and the side effects and agreed that difficult child needs to do what psychiatrist says. As for the Day treatment...difficult child said "that is BS" when she mentioned it. Only he said those discusting words. I am very upset about his language recently also. There is a lot of change right now. Pressure of finals are over, new teachers for second semester. New medication. psychiatrist said she is convinced Vyvanse caused his outbursts. Only because he only takes it the last two weeks of the quarter. will try to get him to take all the medication tonight. He is going to girlfriend's school's "Winter Formal". He has never done that before. Praying it goes well. Principal of girlfriend's school use to be principal of difficult child's middle school. She was so wonderful with him then (in his worst times). Also at one point during middle school he was not allowed to go anywhere, not even the bathroom without an escort. The escort guy...now also works at girlfriend's school. I am hoping one of them will be at the dance. difficult child doesn't like girlfriend's friends (or any kids). Praying he behaves. [/QUOTE]
