Psychotomy

DK had his third meds appt today. Last time she put him on Ritalin 5mg. Which led him to complete meltdowns all the damned time. All for little if any apparent benefiy.

So she had us cut the pills and give him 2.5. So last week that’s what he was on. The meltdowns and violence were better. But still no noticeable benefit

So today I took him and my wife stayed home with the other two (usually we stop ad I wait with them and after appt we go grocery store). Doc decided he was doing much better and she decided to maintain his meds.

She also stated that Ritalin has the fewest side effects of all ADHD meds. Which my wife’s research suggests is the opposite of true. But she doesn’t want to “experiment” with him bc of “his history” it could be dangerous. And how am I supposed to argue with that???

But she’s out the next three weeks, so guess we’re goin to stay the course for now. Maybe well see improvement. But I doubt it, we’re lookin for chemical improvement not biological changes, so those should have been evident already
