[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he needs it, he needs it. Why is the goal to get him off a med that he needs? I hear so much shame in your concern, and I want you to know that it’s ok to need medication. If he needs it, he needs it! Feed him before he takes it, not after. Big breakfast, big dinner. He might not be hungry for lunch. It will be ok! He can have what he needs. You’re a good parent for getting him what he needs. [/quote] Thanks. It’s not a shame, it’s more concern that I may screw up something with his health. It’s a tough and delicate call. After learning that this type of med causes addiction, I am trying to wrap my head around it. Consistent and prevailing message from my research is that benefits outweigh the costs. I’m just afraid nonetheless. Wanted to hear from other parents who went through this decision making process and how it worked out in their case.[/quote]
