I posted on another thread on this topic of using Ambian.

I am taking the adult son (basal ganglia severe brain damage) aka Severe Cerebral Palsy for his check up and going to ask for a sample of Ambian.

The son is overly aware mentally but the severe flailing, tongue thrust and spacticity that has not responded to other treatments (we have tried it all) may benefit from ambian. Worth a try.
His biggest problem is when he gets jazzed about his schedule/events he goes into severe CP movement and lung spasms.
He takes a cocktail of meds now but if to excited he can over ride the effects of the meds.
I have gotten to the point of not telling him when certain events are untill we get there to prevent all the excess movements/spasms.
He went last night to take pics with his Labs with Santa and we had to sit and wait an hour before to allow him to calm enough before we did the pics.
Luckily the 4-H Leader has known us for decades and was very helpful in accomadating him.
I noticed the date of your post May 23. That is his birthdate, hope it is a good sign. : )
