[quote=Anonymous]OP I tried medicating my son last year and he showed improvements on medication. However, the side effects were so severe that I stopped it. Fast forward to now, school work is really suffering, the behavior is terrible, anxiety is through the roof, he doesn't give a damn about anything. I scheduled an appt with a child psychiatrist and will start medication again. We will try to find something that will not have as many side effects. I am worried about growth and social-emotional issues while on medication. But I'm also very worried about depression, anxiety and substance abuse later in life if I don't medicate. It's a very hard decision either way and we are all doing our best.[/quote]
