Your son sounds exactly like my 8 year old daughter. Her last dose was Wed and on Sun we also noticed a HUGE difference in her! She brushed off little things that would've normally set her off. I just realized the stress it has caused the family when my 14 year old son said he was surpised she didn't flip out when she spilled her drink in the car (normally she would have blamed someone else and stomped upstairs crying about how horrible her life is.) She is sleeping so much better now and actually went to bed Mon night without any tantrums! I still find myself tensing up when something goes wrong expecting her to blow up but that really hasn't happened yet. Good luck!
Yes it's amazing the amount of tension we've all undergone in our homes because of this drug. About 5 days after we took our son off, I was telling my 10 year old daugther that she was sooooo good that day, and she said "It was easy because Matthew isn't being mean anymore". I can say for sure that my other children suffered terribly because of his actions. Not anymore!!! :)
