A bad reaction in Arbuckle, CA on 12/23/08

We were driving down Interstate 5 heading to see family. We had lunch at Applebee's in Redding. Chase had a steak burger with cheese & bacon & fries for lunch. He fell asleep in the back seat (late night), and then woke up. Then he started freaking out saying he needed some air and some space. We stopped at a Chevron Station in Arbuckle. He tore his shirt off and we walked around looking at things (I gave him a locational). Then he went to the restroom, and then walked the dog. We wound up buying some Benadryl and having to give it to him after we got back on the road, because he still wasn't doing well.

We're in the middle of the clonopin wean, but it's been over a week since we dropped a pill. He was on 2 pills and I dropped 1 so cut his dose in half. So I don't know if this was from the clonopin wean. Or it could've been a seizure, because he had this reaction right after he woke up. Or it could've been an allergic reaction to something he ate at Applebees.

I was scared to death he would try and run out in the middle of the road, because he really was going nuts. I talked to a family doctor (yes, we have a doctor in the family), and she thinks the next pill drop should maybe be just 1/2 pill or 1/4 pill. I'd just like to get the wean over with though and see what happens.

He has had a couple of behavior incidents while here on vacation - once at IHOP. But he's also been off schedule alot since we headed out - so maybe when we get home things will settle down. The next pill drop was originally scheduled for 12/30/08 - after we get back home
