I've been on my meds for 8 days now and I'm already feeling a lot better. Not completely, but there is a big improvement.  I've noticed a really big improvement in Andrew's mood and behaviour too. I'm glad about that, but it makes me feel bad because it just proves that I was the one making him act up.  I started taking 10 mg tonight like the NP said to do - up from 5 mg for the last 8 days. Hopefully it will make it even better but still not give me any side effects. I haven't had any side effects so far that I've noticed and I'm hoping to keep it that way! |

That's great Sara and don't be so hard on yourself about Andrew - the adjustment to two kids was very rough for me too and Olivia definately felt it but we are human too - he is no worse for the wear for it and neither was Olivia  |

oh, yah -- same here. Abby is 1 and Sammy is 2-1/2 and JUST THIS MORNING I was thinking to myself that I think I'm finally starting to adjust to two kids. I mean, its been A WHOLE YEAR and I'm still trying to adjust. Lord have Mercy......its been rough. LOL (not a day goes by that I dont wonder how my Mom raised 9 kids without killing one of us)  |

ITA! I had a really hard time transitioning to two kids and WOW did I see it take a toll on Wil too. I'm not on meds right now, but I really did see a positive effect on me, which resulted in better behavior from Wil too. I'm really happy for you...What are you taking by the way? |
