[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485418, member: 12886"] That is a great idea. We did have a prn order for ativan at the hospital, it didn't TOUCH him. They were like...holy heck, it didn't make a dent. That is when I told them to just get the doctor to order prn clonidine, even though he is at a high dose...fact is he has never had low blood pressure on it, and no fluctuation at all really. All his heart and lab work are really good. They did it and it worked, only had to like three times in three weeks. We have no ttried klonopin.. I gave him teh short acting ritalin today instead of concerta, and tonight since he is just watching his sports, I have him half dose. He took a nap and is being sweet. i know if we tried to do anything it would be too much, but he has always been happier on less ritalin. I am hoping the dr is right, he is at an age where his brain may need less instead of more ritalin. she said at some point it usually starts trending the opposite way as the frontal lobe develops. It happened that way for my nephew. Last year at this time he needed three times the dose he is on now. He is happier, eating more and doing his work! School still needs a 504 to help with organization but will be interesting to see how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
