((Big hugs)) no advice from me but ((more hugs))

[cleo29]

I have found pills days later, granted it is from my dog, but I had no idea it had not gone down the hatch.

I think you are right to leave him where he is since he is not showing any of the worry signs.

[daisybuchannan]

Hmm, call the pedi and ask if you should take him as a precaution even if he isn't acting lethargic.

[poppyseed]

Honestly frkls, if he looked fine I wouldn't have taken him to the hospital either. But what do I know?

Hugs! I'm sure he's fine.

[textbookcase]

I'm sure he's okay, and the teacher knows what's up and will call if there are any troubling signs!

[sparkythelawyer]

I think you're fine. You've talked to the teacher, if she sees anything she'll let you know.

[alzi]

I would think he would have reacted by now. Did the doc give you a timeframe?

I can imagine how scary that is. He will be ok!!

[papie]

I would have done the same thing. ((hugs))

[Deleted]

Maybe it went down his shirt? I think you did the right thing and your friend said she would call you at the first sign if anything. Hugs to you.

[fuckyourcouch]

i don't have any kids but i probably would have done the same thing. i'm sure he's okay.

[karmasabiotch]

Sounds like he's fine. 2 hours in he would be showing signs if he doubled up.

[Deleted]

you did the right thing. the teacher will keep an eye on him.

My daughter takes Vyvanse too. After 2 hours, the medicine has kicked in. If he seems fine and doesn't appear to be showing any signs of being lethargic, I think you're good. I have had pills show up days later. Could it have rolled under the refrigerator or something equally crazy?

[Deleted]

Did you check his clothes? Pills can also roll. I think you did the right thing. Sorry, I know this is scary.

you guys are awesome. when i left the school, i looked at my phone trying to decide who i wanted to call for reassurance and actually decided to skip my real friends and ask you guys instead. LOL!

I see how it is. ::humph::

I would have done the same exact thing, including coming home and still worrying and wondering if I did the right thing. If he is acting completely fine, then there is no point in going to the ER. His teacher will keep an eye on him, and he'd likely be showing symptoms now if he took both. I hope the missing pill turns up. I'd be paranoid that a kid or pet could end up eating it.

[Deleted]

you did. you're fine. he's fine.

pill dispensers are awesome.

Ditto.  It's not uncommon that J drops one of his pills when I hand it to him, and sometimes they are just lost and gone forever.  I don't understand it, but as long as he wasn't showing any symptoms, I'd trust that the pill just got lost under a floor molding or something.

You're a good mom.  Trust your instincts.  If both you and his teacher, who's very familiar with him, didn't see any reason to be concerned, there likely wasn't.

once i found a pill in my bra.

[isabel]

Sort of weird suggestion, but is it possible to know how many pills he should have taken from the bottle since you got the prescription? I know, probably not, but figured I'd suggest it.

Honestly, I'm sure he's totally fine and his teacher is going to drop everything and call you the second she notices something off. Hugs and feel better!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Dude, he's fine! He'd be knocked the fuck out by now. Get a pill dispenser, que is wise. I always forget to take/ forget if I took my stupid asthma/allergy medications if I don't use one

[pantsparty]

I think you did the right thing. You alerted the teacher, so I'm sure she'll be on the lookout in case he starts getting lethargic.

[fluffaluff]

Maybe he dropped it in/on his clothes and it fell out somewhere else (?) if the teacher is your friend I'm sure shell call you if he becomes lethargic

[kristie]

He is fine. He would have been acting strange right now, and this comes from a girl who has done this more times than I care to admit. I have a pill dispenser that I forget to use. "Did I already take my pill or did I just think about taking it?"
