Once I have my wits about me (read: have had enough coffee), I’ll be making a phone call to Baby Boy’s psychiatrist. When we saw him last Friday, one of things we discussed is that he has been rather hyper and unsettled for a couple of months. The doctor suggested we try just the smallest dose possible of Adderall. Just to try and see if it would help. Knowing our family history of being unable to tolerate any form of stimulant, he kept it to the smallest dosage and only Rx’d 3 pills for 3 days. He said we’d know within 24 hrs.

He was right. There is no way in hell I’m going to give him another today or tomorrow or ever again.  He hyper focused on an internet game and all seemed to be okay… until last night. He was awake until 23:00 and then slept until 02:25. We’ve both been awake since then. The only positive thing about this trial was that it killed his relentless appetite. See, most atypical anti psychotics have a  horrid side-effect of causing a voracious appetite, a hunger that seems impossible to satiate.

One more cup of Java and I should be ready to make the call… I think. I could always email but eyes are blurry as hell just typing this.
