ML,
I hope the medications will take care of it as you monitor and adjust them. Hopefully he's get used to the smaller dose of clonidine. Sometimes it takes awhile. Maybe our kids notice the slow weans more because their brains and bodies are ultra-sensitive.
I have found that December is always a hard month as the holidays set in. For example my 17 has been getting A's and B's (he's going to high school half-time) and has been really motivated and working his tushie off. But I can see he's getting tired and not as enthusiastic.
Has Manster mentioned anything that might be going on with him? Not trying to make a big deal out of this -- just thinking about December with grey days, holiday distractions, everyone's supposed to feel so jolly. Personally I think it's a recipe for overwhelm.
Just brainstorming. How does Manster usually do around the holidays?
