So, new meds.  I've been worrying myself sick about his weight gain and feeling guilty because I can't seem to do anything about it.  We had a psychiatrist appt. She changed us from Risperdol to Ablify. (4mg)  I don't really know much about the med.  I hope it works.  It would be so wonderful to find that 3 months from now he's dropped 5, 10 or 20 pounds.  Its' my hope!!! my dream. 

So in the past week, he's changed his one medicine and upped his ADHD med, Focalin.  He seems to be doing better.

In truth, he's doing well.  some tough, rough days a school, but I guess on average, about 2 or so a month.  other 'bad' days with impulse control, but not to the point that he needs to be brought to the principal.   I just hope it lasts.
