The unusual swings in anxiety levels (that we experienced on the weekend) have continued and Kaylia spent half a day at home yesterday. Today, she is going to school but I'll stay home from work and be on standby to go to school if needed. She has started a higher dose of Ritalin today ..... the Ritalin may be the cause of the anxiety ..... or it may help remove it! We don't know and we'll watch closely over the next 24 hours to see which way the pendulum swings.
This uncertainty is the same as we had last year when we were trying different medications .... Risperdal was the 4th one tried. We can never rely on the medication effect being constant .... the way that the body reacts to the drugs can vary from day to day and the changes must be observed / assessed.
Later .... by the afternoon, the school had not called ... so fingers crossed - all may have gone well.
