I have notice that since we have given Brandon Benadryl at night he seems to do better in the day. Is he finally getting enough sleep? Is it just being home for the summer? I took him off the Benadryl for a few nights because I didn't want him to be on it so much that when we started school he would not be able to use it but it made a difference. When I took him off, he got more upset easier and quick to get a nasty temper over everything. Almost aggressive but not physical but his voice and all gets loud and he wants to argue everything. So last night I gave him the benadryl and as of the am he is still sleeping.
We started Focalin at a small dose and he is eating and it seems to work. At least without big crashes but once school starts I think we may need more meds. We shall see. I don't have him study or have to concetrate much more than playing and swiming so don't really know if the meds are helping with staying focused.. I mean it is but is it enough? I notice he is not as grabby but if it something he is interested in... well then he becomes my two year old which is something we are working on.
