Bub (and Monster) saw the developmental pediatrician for another check-up with them, and this was the first time that he had been told about Bub’s propensities to harm other people during meltdowns. He agreed with me that this was concerning and needed to be dealt with by means of medication, and seeing that Bub had already been put on Risperdal at his last visit with him, chose to increase the dose to .5mg in the morning and .5mg at night. If, for whatever reason, that doesn’t work, he can take 1mg in the morning or 1mg at night. He’s also being put on guanfacine to help level his mood out a bit more since he’s actually caused me to need to go to urgent care and the emergency room as a result of these meltdowns, with half of a pill being the starting dose and standing instructions to go up to a full pill per day if he needs it. His developmental pediatrician said that I could read the dosing instructions on that when I picked up the prescription for him and call them if I had any questions. I’m glad that this is being taken seriously by his care team and all of those who interact with him. I’m hoping that the changes to his medication regimen go well.
