[quote=Anonymous]My rule of thumb is that the foreseen side effects from not taking the medication are as bad or worse than the foreseen side effects of taking medication. We can't control for how medication affects each individual or a rare side effect. Just what we can foresee based on the our kid and the science. In our case, we're not there yet-- but if my aggressive seven year old doesn't get a grip on his temper and becomes an aggressive ten year old, we're there. (he doesn't hit anyone besides me, by the way or we would already be there). [/quote]
