Laying off of the Stimulant

My husband and I decided after the first two days that Caroline was home, to hold off on the dexedrine because she seemed very "up" to the point that we were concerned that maybe the ADHD med was too much. We always worry about stimulants inducing mania, and after all she has been through these last four months, we don't want to take a chance of destabilizing her. We may try reintroducing it in a smaller dosage next week to see if she was just excited about being home, or ramping up. So complicated!
