[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Pediatrician will not work with us without a full scale write-up.  Maybe it is time for DD to grow out of the pediatrician.  (I know we sent a copy of everything to them...).

It seem that all they want is my money.[/quote]
Do you have an eval? My kids' pediatrician does not prescribe ADHD or even anxiety meds. Always been psychiatrist. Now, in Indiana my SIL has pediatrician who prescribed her then 7 year old ADHD meds, and he didn't even have a full eval. It went like this, he can't focus, his sister seems to have ADHD(also no eval) so here you go. SIL is fine with this, and I kept my mouth shut, but I was absolutely stunned to hear that her kids are getting ADHD meds without a full eval, without a psychiatrist and based on a visit to pediatrician. Most of ADHD meds are controlled substances, and even my kid's psychiatrist won't prescribe any refills.[/quote]

He had a neuropsych exam last year.  I told the Pediatrician I would give a copy, but they wanted to do there own evaluation.  Um no.
