Today Middle Boy had his monthly med check.  He has been doing pretty well with the exception of this past weekend when he didn't take melatonin, because he was having too much fun playing video games with JP.

We are going to continue on the therapeutic dosage of his antidepressant.  It seems to make a difference in his motivation level and his ability to sleep through the night.  A symptom of depression is being awake between the hours of two and four in the morning on a consistent basis.  This happened to him in the couple of months he was off of the medication.

Middle Boy also had a lot of general questions for Dr. L.  He wanted to know about budgeting and insurance.  It mainly started because Dr. L was telling him about insurance at the beginning of the appointment.  Dr. L was patient and answered his questions.  I am not sure I would get financial advice from a psychiatrist, but to each their own.

Praises for finding a med which makes Middle Boy's quality of life better.  Prayers for the day when he will no longer need it, but until then I am thankful for it.
