My bp child has had medication changes as I previously posted. He is currently on risperdal which he takes .5 in the morning and .5 in the early evening. He is also taking clonidine to help him sleep at night. He was previously on amantadine, intuniv, and a lower dosage risperdal.
I am seeing the effects of the medication change now, he is very jumpy and the mania and giddiness have returned. He is having a hard time controlling his anger. He is not able to control his anger or the constant quick changes in his temperament. John has been experiencing frustration when he can not control his actions.
John's psychologist suggested that I should have a multi-faucet evaluation done, he wants the school to establish an IEP and a 504 plan. These tools can help John by accommodating his special needs and develop a plan to help him to succeed in school.
The psychologist has suggested that we might have to again add another med. It seems that the warning sign to a medication change is when they start to grow or have to adjust too many changes in their day. John has always had trouble with transitioning to different classes. I am concerned about if he will be able to handle junior high and high school. I feel that in the future that he will have to be home schooled.
Sometimes you can almost hear the changes coming it is , "The calm before the storm".
