side effects

We have just arrived back from the psychiatrist.

The first week of medication was fine - not much side effects.

Second week we upped the medication - first to 2 tablets then to 3 tablets. Contrarian had terrible stomach ache after that. Increasingly difficulty falling asleep at night and difficulty getting up in the morning.

I decided to go back to 2 tablets after 3 days.

Today was a disaster - he could barely walk never mind get dressed and ready.

The doctor asked if I wanted to go back to one tablet a day and I said yes. To be honest - continuing with more than one tablet a day is not an option for me.

The school has noticed a marked difference in his ability to focus. Today is the last day of school.
