I didn't like the idea of a kid so young, being medicated. My biggest fear was that he would be a zombie, or have a flattened affect. <BR/><BR/>The psychiatrist was very reassuring that she absolutely thought there would be benefits for Jaysen. I thought we could always try it, and if it didn't work, we could discontinue it as well. <BR/><BR/>I still don't like the idea that he's medicated, but there is no question that he is benefitting. <BR/>His anxiety is lower, he has started speaking more, he is able to focus, and most importantly, he is enjoying himself. Feel free to e-mail me if you would like more specifics- and thanks for stopping by!mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-2550028296546918682007-08-25T13:15:00.000-04:002007-08-25T13:15:00.000-04:00yeah we have this issue too of my son taking any m...yeah we have this issue too of my son taking any meds. right now all we are doing is melatonin and something called valerian calm. i am really debating getting him some prescribed medication. i would love to know more about your experience and how you arrived at your decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
