[quote=Anonymous]The nice thing is, it’s not a forever decision. You can try them for a few weeks and see how DD reacts. Talk to the prescribing clinician about how you would like to approach them. DC’s psychiatrist starts medication at an extremely low dose to make sure there is no bad reaction and relatively slowly ramps up to what would be an optimal dose. But DC is also on anxiety medication, which can complicate things. I think other clinicians might start with what might be an optimal dose, so that there is not a long time when your DD is taking the medication but you’re not sure if it’s helpful. Decide what works for you. [/quote]
