Hoping that difficult child 1 finally sleeps good tonight. Today was his first dosage of the 3 mgs of Intuniv and I'm hoping he won't have the same issues with insomnia at the higher dose. Maybe the higher dose will actually make him more drowsy, I don't know. We will have to wait and see. I am going to be a nervous wreck. I am so paranoid about the side effects as each dose is increased. His heart rate and blood pressure might drop down dangerously low and I know I'll be checking on him a lot tonight to make sure he is still breathing. So much for me getting a good night's rest. I don't know why I am so overly paranoid about difficult child 2 taking medications. I don't recall ever being this worried when difficult child 1 started her medications. Maybe it's because he is my youngest and his dad is SO opposed to him being on any medication. Whatever the case, please wish us luck tonight.
