[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! We can't change his meds until he learns to swallow whole pills (we've tried all sorts of tricks, still working on that) as we've tried, literally, everything that comes in capsule form. So far this one (metadate) is the one that works the best without weight loss (he went from a 54 pound kid to 41 - and a >20% weight loss is not acceptable) associated with it. His behavior just can't seem to get much better, no matter how high we ramp the drugs and his weight starts falling, so this seems like a happy medium for now. He's not intolerable like he used to be, but he's still often worse than he should be in terms of not blowing his top when things don't go his way, keeping his hands to himself, waiting his turn etc. Things that hopefully, he can mature out of in addition to having the meds help him. But for the moment, it's not great.[/quote]
