[quote=Anonymous]For us meds made it possible to work on everything else. They also gave my kid that pause to choose their reaction instead of just being in flight or fight. It really is better to try meds before things totally fall apart- it can take awhile to get an appointment with a ped. psych or dev. ped., you might need to try a few different combos or work your way up to the right dose, and most importantly the less someone has to “unlearn” a behavior pattern the faster they can move forward. Right now your kid is holding it together at school and doesn’t seem to be having academic or social consequences, but one big dramatic outburst could really change that. You can always stop any meds, but you can’t go back in time to start them. [/quote]
