Hi to everyone,
i have a question. I've noticed a marked difference in my daughter this week. Mornings have still been struggle, yet once i detach her from couch she goes and has been less weeping as week has been progressing.
another difference she made a friend nad has been on swing two days in row with friend and her paranoia has dropped enough so that she's eating lunch for 2 dys now!! which is huge for us.
last night before bed she didn't cry for first time, i still had to do the usual routine with her to get her to sleep.
i was weening her off abilify because pyshc felt it wasn't working and neither did i anxiety seemed to have increased especially paranoia level it only controller Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) patterns somewhat.
i wrote teacher a note so i have no idea she hasn't responded in two days wanted to nkow if she's still same in class. (ive since decided to make up my own checklist for ea day so that the teacher can chk off the behaviors).
so i'm wondering today was the 5th day i cut medication's in half. is that enough of a diff. to have lifted the anxiety somewhat (i think she was experiencing side effect of anxiety of medication)? or is it that the abilify is finally working? we're in our 8th week.
i'm supposed to stop medication's on monday and now i'm confused. doctor is no help.
thanks
jen
