Yesterday I had to up her Aderall to an entire pill b/c it was not doing her any good, but today she scared me.
She fell asleep in the car on the way to counseling (which is very rare) and I could not rouse her for almost a minute. It was very strange.
Then, with her counselor, she fell asleep again and was hard to rouse. She was breathing fine and her heart was beating fine.
I confirmed with the pharmacist that ADHD meds do not make a person sleepy/tired/lethargic, so it must be the trazadone at night having lingering affects, since she is starting to become calmer from the medication.
I was proud of her that she asked to go to sleep with no sleeping aid, then asked for half a little later when she couldn't stay still and go to sleep.
We took her to Cook's Children's Hospital today for her EKG and no problems there. Very happy that her heart is handling the meds she is on.
She is calming down quite a bit, doesn't have much anxiety and not much depression either.
UPDATES: After only a couple of days, she was unable to fall asleep again at night with half a trazadone and is now back on a full pill, and is not falling asleep during the day.
