New Med

John had another appointment with the autism clinic on Friday. I had meant to attend, but had an acute lack of planning, and ended up not being able to leave work to attend. I attended by conference call. Carolyn took John. Grandma Karen stayed with Emmalee.

The doctor listened to our description of John's behavior, and his reaction to Strattera, and how his behavior improved when we discontinued the straterra. John's behavior improved on Tenex, but he had adverse side-effects of shortness of breath and sinus drainage (throat clearing).

This lead us to another drug similar to Tenex. Clonodine. It is mildly sedating. We launched John on this drug yesterday.
