So I have decided to give medicine a try. They say it could take up to 6-9 months to get the right type and dose right to be effective so I'm dedicated to giving it a real try.
I did not come to this decision lightly! Let me repeat: I DID NOT COME TO THIS DECISION LIGHTLY!
I'm not yet an advocate for this treatment nor do I know I made the right decision without doubt. Yes I realize I'm giving my son legal meth and its really hard to do. I feel scared and honestly I feel like I failed my son a little. I know that is my emotions poking at me and that I did do research to come to this decision but it still feels bad. I'll go into how I came to this decision in a later post, but I wanted to create this blog to have a way to monitor his progress or lack of.
After breakfast, at 8am, I gave Rocco one 18mg Concerta pill. This is a time release med that is suppose to last for 12 hours. This is the smallest dose of concerta availalbe. 4 hours in and no headache or stomach ache yet. They say that those side effects may happen the first week until his body gets used to it.
So I don't know how this is all going to turn out, but I'm documenting our journey and maybe it will help others going through this in the future.
