[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 389004, member: 8617"] My difficult child started zyrexa about 6 weeks ago. According to his psychiatrist it is in the same family of medications as his previous one, risperdal. He is not new to this kind of medication being my point. Anyway, he takes his dose at night. The split dose wasn't practical for him because he will be 18 and self managing soon enough. He is forgetful so the one pill routine offers stability. That being said, he has difficulty getting to and staying asleep and would struggle during school with lethargy an inattentiveness. Now he gets tired enough to go to bed on his own at a good time, huge difference from his previous stalling routines.:raspberry-tounge: He wakes up less troll-ish and reports a much improved ability to concentrate in school. Although all difficult child's are unique my guess from the response you got from crazymama and my own experience is that you should determine what end of the spectrum your difficult child is on as far as behavioral needs. Too high energy during day=dose in morning -or- trouble with sleep and dealing with life the next day=dose at night. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
