[quote=Anonymous]PANDAS PP here.  That's an interesting perspective.  If some of the posts I have read on DCUM are an indication, there do seem to be many from people who say I don't want to use meds because of some previous bad press they've read or heard about somewhere.  So I can appreciate people do need to know about success stories.

Again I am sorry meds did not work out for us.  It would have our child's life much easier.  I see you switched around several times because of side effects.  Our experience is likely older, but we were told repeatedly that the side effects we were seeing were not side effects because they were so rare and instead were part of our child's condition so we were not offered a switch and, in any case, I think there were few other pediatric choices at the time.  I hope that as more has been learned about side effects, doctors have become less dismissive of side effects.

I share your dismay at the poster(s?) with the avoid meds at all costs, you are poisoning your child point of view.  Either they have no children with such problems or if they do the problems are quite mild.  Therapy can be very helpful, but as I said the cost can be huge when one takes into account all the factors and can be much more then the delicate ecosystem of a family with SN children can bear.
