It's later than I wanted but my hubby let me sleep in. For some reason when I was ready to fall asleep last night, my 3 youngest decided it was time to get up! Yes at 4am I'm still up and kids are waking up.
Anyway, since this is the first day and I want to make sure that I keep track of how well these meds work I figured why not blog it. I write it down on a piece of paper and the kids will have it lost in no time flat.
So far, 9:20am and I don't see anything. This is a long acting, slow release, I hope it kicks in well within an hour so I can give it to him at 7am and he's ready to go come 8am and time for school to start.
It's a little after noon and he's more hyper than usual. He usually can watch TV 'quietly' but he's constantly up and down and he is literally bouncing when he walks and jumping when he's standing. I hope tomorrow is more 'normal' though I've got about 5 more hours of hyper child.
Around 3:20p I think he was coming down off the meds. I had a very weepy sensitive little boy who was NOT happy. That lasted about an hour the he seemed more normal but slightly calmer. He is wanting mommy attention. He's being very loving/clingy yet playing outside and following the rules! Following the rules is not normal at all. He's checking in regularly and patiently helping with dinner. He ate a decent dinner for him. He ate 1 1/2 Italian sausages. He's annoyingly talkative. LOTS to say and seeking validation for what he's saying.
He did tell me a little while ago that when we laid down earlier for a nap he had a headache :( Like his whole brain hurt. I don't like that side effect at all.
On a side note I increased his melatonin last night. He was getting usually 2mg but has had 3mg without much difference. So 4mg last night worked GREAT. He did get up early in the evening to move to the couch but slept well after that.
Some history as to why we got to this point to follow...
