[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 348393, member: 3444"] So we're back :) We're not adding any more Tegretol for difficult child 1. psychiatrist hopes to wean him off Celexa some time in the next 6 weeks. And we have the o.k. to reintroduce Elavil, with the thought that the Tegretol will provide a strong enough buffer to counter any negative psychiatric effects like he had before -- because Elavil really did seem to help his IBS. We didn't address the skin picking issue and I'm wondering if the Elavil will help that again, since it wasn't a problem until we stopped that medication. We'll see. And he talked to difficult child 1 about what his goal for his grades is, and said that difficult child 1 can probably turn things around if he commits to getting his work done. difficult child 1 says his motivation is improved, so we're all hoping it continues and he pulls himself together. He's only been on the Tegretol a bit over a month, so perhaps with more time the improvements will continue. difficult child 2 is going to wait another 2 weeks and then we're going to go up to 3mg of Intuniv if it seems warranted. psychiatrist agrees that it's helping difficult child 2's working memory and thinks we should give it a bit more time before we decide to increase. He said we need to make sure it isn't activating, because he's seen that happen before in one of his patients. He wants to see both difficult children again before school gets out, so we'll go back at the end of May. Everything else is status quo, thankfully! And on the way back to school, difficult child 1 informed me that he missed zero period today! That's because we both forgot what day it was, and I didn't get up at 5:30am like usual on Tuesdays to premedicate him :hammer: I guess I thought it was Wednesday! [/QUOTE]
