I've talked to his doctor, I guess Paxil works on your brains "Seritonnin"(sic) and we have a lot more of that in our gut than in our brain. I give him "Pediasure" because he is a picky eater and by default that has kept him "regular". I stopped giving him that these last 2 weeks and he started having accidents. As soon as I started giving him the Pediasure shakes again he seems to be ok. We all want him on his meds too. Hopefully with something as simple as these shakes, it will help. My mom couldn't take Paxil. She had severe loose stools with it. The doc said it can be genetic. Whatever. As for the bed wetting. I'm going to ask today if he can take the med in the am or early afternoon so he won't be so tired. I try to limit eve. drinks and have cut out all cafine(sic)I swear on days he swims he must drink half the pool! :) Thanks for all comments!
