That was sarcasm for those that didn't pick up on it lol.
Talked for about an hour with Dyl's therapist today. It's pretty obvious the Concerta isn't doing anything but making his anxiety worse LOL! LOL! Lucky me, eh? :hammer:
Did I say this was the last drug we were gonna try? Hmmm :scared: Don't remember.
Anyway, I'm pulling him off. Two weeks...nothin'. Kid's ready to crawl out of his own skin.
Therapist kept commenting on Dyl's anxiety. Anxiety, anxiety....tons of anxiety.
I see it. Always knew it. Ignored it, I guess. Was more worried about the dining room table being flung across the room at the time, I suppose :smile:
Anyhow...anyone have thoughts about anxiety medications? I ask because, mood stabilizers are now out. I'm not interested. Ditto for all antipsychotics and stimulants LOL! Hmm...leaves me alot of options, eh?
So, we thought MAYBE settling the anxiety will help with...uhh, I dunno. Anxiety.
I know nothing about the anxiety medications. Anything APPROVED for kids? Yeah, hahahaha...well, thought I'd ask :nonono: Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Thing here is, I'm not gonna say to psychiatrist, well, let's give him a mood stabilizer for moods, atypical to calm him down, stimulant for ADHD, anxiety pill for anxiety...etc. I'm not into drugging him up anymore....so, well, let's take the biggies and work from there. I don't think stims are it. Never did, and this trial has proven me right.
Don't I feel smart?
Not really.......
Input?
Thx!
