[QUOTE="sandman3, post: 134547, member: 4719"] At the hospital, if he hit or threw anything, he went immediately to the "time-out" room.....a lovely, unfurnished room where they cannot hurt anyone and can have time to scream until they're ready to cool down. OH HOW I WISH I HAD ONE OF THOSE AT HOME, LOL! I would create one if we had any space available. He's been on the Depakote and Risperdal for 2 years. The clonodine is the only "new" medication right now. So it's either that one, or the effect of that one now mixed with the others that's making him so sleepy. I think for now I'll just tweak the time until it seems right. The reason for the times is that the hospital was watching to see when in the day he began to lose control and timed his medications based on that. I guess I can do the same thing! Tonight has been better. I waited on all of his afternoon medications until 5:00 and had dinner on the table at 5:15. He ate some, not a bunch but enough. We had reading time and he got sleepy during that but I made him get up and moving and now he's playing like a maniac with his little partner's in crime! Getting ready for "movie night", I'll see how much he gets thru before he's zonked! You guys are so helpful! Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
