He takes it after breakfast - what the psychiatrist prescribed. This morning... started shouting and screaming and became very aggressive when he couldn't find his beloved bow and arrow (one he made himself out of sticks and an elastic band), accusing me of taking it, screaming insults and (not usual) trying to hit and kick me. I also lost it and didn't do very well, I'm afraid - ended up giving him a slap. Eventually we found it at which point he becomes amenable and an ordinary child again, apologising to me.
Worst case scenario is that the medications just make him worse and have no beneficial effect. I guess we will up the dose to 20 mg for a week in a week's time and then go to 25 mg over four weeks to see what that does.
