[QUOTE="totoro, post: 228910, member: 3155"] It is a very hard thing to figure out. What I do is, I have printed out Dr. Pavuluri's Medication Guidelines. It is lengthy... You can purchase it as well. There are others as well, but since she has treated K and I feel comfortable with her and I agree with her Book Advice, I like her medication guidelines. Anyway, I bring in a medication guideline. I will have looked through it *again* prior to this apt. I know kind of what direction the psychiatrist is going to head regarding medications. So I have my own mental list as far as what I think and what I want! :) I can also flip to to any medication she might bring up and look at it quickly and see info on it! I usually will highlight areas I am interested in or or concerned about. I then will ask why she is choosing this medication? Why not another one over this one or that? I have the side effects high lighted and I can ask about them. Our new psychiatrist laughs at me when I whip this out. But now that I *trust* her it is not such a bit deal... but it also has dosing guidelines so I can go along with her dosing amounts, then I can questions her!!! Which they LOVE!!! Here is the link: [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20100704102319/http://www.psychiatric.uic.edu/pmdc/pharmbook.pdf[/url] I am sorry you are struggling with so many questions. It is so hard to make these choices and then have the worries of all of the side effects. I just hold onto the fact that I know K does so much worse off of medications. We have done a medication wash and she is worse. I remember my baby prior to medications almost 3 years ago. Even with the side effects, she is better than that little girl. [/QUOTE]
