[QUOTE="Star*, post: 134513, member: 4964"] Sand - Dude was on that much Clonodine and Depakote at one time - almost the same dosages. The depakote made him heavy quick. Then they had him take Welbutrin and Clonodine for a time. Depakote seemed to make Dude aggitated and short tempered more so than usual. Welbutrin seemed to do nothing. Almost ashamed to admit it - but we had him over the years on a mix of over 64 medications. The only thing he didn't get in the pharmacy was lithium and Geodone. And I'm not sure at one of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s they didn't try Geodone too. We stopped with the Clonodine after they had him on that and ....Adderal XR. Basically - with Dude just keeping him running from dusk till dawn seemed to do as much good as medicines. Now we're trying Vitamin C and B complex and cutting out sugar - adding more citrus. Somethings working - I don't know if it's the vitamins in mass doeses or his maturity. And I never meant to say you didn't know what you were doing - ACK - I absolutely KNOW you are doing everything you can -and yes I know about just letting a sleeping mad dog lay. BELIEVE YOU ME - I do. Like Smallworld said - medications tweaks seem to be our life for so long. Oh - and you can ask - but our regular doctor said with some medications like Strattera - he can have Benadryl tabs (2 ) and it would knock him out. The psychiatric. ok'd it - so when he really was wound tight we gave him Benadryl. Not all the time - just those - it's either YOU take 2 benadryl or I'm going to dive into a bottle of some light colored Mexican liquor with a worm....and a snorkle Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
