Z & Medication

Been pretty much drama much free with “Z” lately. Mostly because school is out!!! He has been hanging out with his friend “A” most of the time. He goes to the pool in the afternoon with his other friend “JB” .

So he started a new medication this week, the psychiatrist prescribed him Strattera . I have had the prescription for awhile and was nervous about him taking it. The dose is very low to start, only 25 mg. He told me that most kids “Z’s” weight start at 60 mg but seeing as we both agree that “Z” should be able to function as normal as possible we are starting low and will increase when needed. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I personally do not want a vegetable for a child. I just want him to be able to function like a normal person, just be able to slow down a little bit. So we’ll see. Today is only the second day of him taking it.
