[quote=Anonymous]YES to the poster that said “meds allowed us to work on everything else.” There is no magic med to fix it, but if u can get a med that helps enough, then your kiddo can work with u and a therapist on strategies. After many meds made him nauseous my son ended up on low dose haloperidol for a little more than 3 years (kind of uncommon these days says our psychiatrist). Haloperidol allowed him to finally able to do the work of therapy and practicing strategies. He’s now 13… on ADHD meds (Concerta) and anxiety meds (Zoloft). Things aren’t perfect but OMG it’s way better. He does things now like take a shower to calm down. On his own. It’s so so so so much better. Haloperidol is what allowed him to access the strategies to help himself. And then we figured out his current meds while still on that low dose of haloperidol… and then we eventually removed it.[/quote]
