[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she had a neuropsych evaluation? Could it be something other than ADHD or in addition to? I agree that I would try another stimulant or two or some nonstimulants before going to Lamictal.[/quote] Our child psych has repeatedly said she doesn't care about evaluations like that in regards to medication. She doesn't medicate relative to diagnoses in that way, she medicates for symptoms to improve a child's life. Having another label isn't what will magically get you the right meds IF you have a good prescriber. They can do their own diagnosing, plus observation etc. [/quote] Most psych only see patients 15-30 minutes. That doesn't give you a good view.[/quote] PP you're responding to. It gives them plenty of a view if they're listening to patients, parents and teacher reports. [/quote]
