[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It totally depends on what you mean by “struggles with school structure.” If the behavior was so severe that the child risked being sent to a self-contained classroom, yes, I would be willing to tolerate side effects. But if it’s more minor, no. Also, you should insist on trying a lower dose. [b]Psychiatrists often start at a higher dose [/b]because they prioritize getting to a clinical impact ASAP. You don’t have to do that. If the side effects are a lot, try cutting the dose in half. (This was my own experience with a different kind of med - I cut my SSRI to half the standard dose and it gives me 90% of the benefits and almost zero side effects.)[/quote] That is not our experience. In every scenario we’ve heard about they start very low and ramp up. Maybe you were in an extreme situation? [/quote]
