[quote=Anonymous]Meds are so tricky to get right and can help, but won't fix everything (I would pay anything if they did). Some meds have more side effects than others. ADHD meds can make your kid not eat, whereas your anxiety meds can make your kid eat too much. Both can reduce anger and frustration and both can increase it. At the same time, it's hard to know if their working because environmental factors influence our kids so much, like transition to end of school and start of summer. That really throws off even typical kids. I'm not saying all this to be snarky because our family is in hell trying to figure it out, so I'm just saying be patient as it's a lot of trial and error. Some people get lucky the first time, but I think more are struggling in the other boat.[/quote]
