This was a wonderful drug until it became toxic in my sons body and caused him to hallucinate and feel bugs crawling all over him.

It is currently working. The worse side effect of all medications is the insomnia and when the medicine is wearing off. There is about a 30 minute window that can be unpleasant, if we aren't on our regular schedule.

His meds seem to help as far as I can tell. He's not as wild with it. But he misses his pill in the morning, he sometimes has meltdowns and is extremely hard to calm him down.
