[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP for all that you are going through. BTDT. Our pediatric practice was of zero help. We recently saw the pediatrician for a physical and he rolled his eyes when it came to the question on which meds is your DC taking. DC is on two meds -one for ADHD and one for anxiety. We were in a similar situation. We ended finding a psychiatrist who was out-of-network to help get DC on meds and stabilized. That took about 1 year of trying different meds and doses to finally get to a combination of two meds that significantly reduced DC's symptoms to a manageable level. In the meantime, we were on the waiting list for several places that take insurance - Inova Keller and Children's Hospital (Fairfax clinic), We got a spot at Inova Keller before Children's Hospital and then switched from the out-of-network psychiatrist to Inova Keller. We were sad to leave the psychiatrist because she had helped us tremendously. However, it was a financial hardship to be out-of-network and Inova Keller had other services (psychoeducational testing, partial day hospitalization, etc.). Sending you a virtual hug. I feel like I have PTSD for that period with DC. It was very, very difficult. Sending you a virtual hug.[/quote]
