Keep truckin'

So I am sort of a at a point lately where I just have to laugh at how it seems everything I do seems to be much more difficult than it needs to be. I didn't fill the Rx for the 15mg right away and then forgot until the day he had 1 pill left. I meant to take it to work that next day and have it filled for the next morning. But I left the paper sitting at home. So I took it that evening. Got there and as always they had me hold on while they checked to see if they had enough. They did. And just as she was about to tell me it'd be however many minutes, she noticed the date on it. It was 10 days old. And prescriptions are only good for 7! As one who's never really dealt with Rx on this level that was just not something that I knew because it was never necessary. So there I am at 6pm. And I am told I have to get a new Rx from his Dr. And because of the nature I have to pick up a paper copy of the Rx, from a Dr who closest office is about 30 minutes from the house...and he took the last dose that morning. I have to say I don't think I've ever had this thought before but I thought, well thank goodness he's sick. He had come home from school early that day because he felt bad and then threw up a few times. He was pretty much couch bound. So at least it wouldn't be going to school not medicated.
The next day I got the new Rx and filled it without issue.

So he's now been on the 15mg for a week but really was sick a better part of that time so I'm still not sure what the change is. I figure we'd give it this week before we judge but it seems like its still wearing off at about 3:30 but that he's just a bit more sluggish during the hours its working...
