Here we go again!
difficult child 2 cannot concentrate, cannot sit still, cannot focus tonight on his homework. I asked him if he took his medications at lunch and he says he did. But he's acting like he didn't, and he shouts at me "Mom! I'm BUZZING!" (our term for hypomanic symptoms like racing thoughts).
Tomorrow morning he goes in to get Depakote levels checked before school. So we'll know more next week if that needs to be tweaked further. He's been doing really well the last few weeks, so maybe tonight is just a fluke breakthrough of symptoms.
Wrong or right, I decided to give him an extra 100mg Seroquel (regular, not XR) to see if that will help get him through the rest of the evening's homework and soccer practice. In the past, the regular Seroquel only lasts about 4 hours in him, which will work out fine for his bedtime dose of the XR and his Depakote ER.
