I just talked to Dr.P (her neurologist), he has assured me that it is safe to give Ri, safer than falling asleep while she is awake to tear the house to shreds (which is a nightly occurrence now) He wants us to try giving it to her for a week and then let him know how she is doing.

I am going to give it another try. I feel better about it after talking to him and being reassured about the patients he has on it. Ri has had some bad experiences on meds so I am always gun shy when it comes to them.

Maybe after taking it for a few days the irritability and unsteadiness will wear off? Tonight we will try again…
