[QUOTE="maril, post: 214283, member: 5937"] Hi, MidwestMom. I just saw your post. Thanks. I guess I was typing my previous post while you were posting yours. Sometimes it takes me a l-o-n-g time to finally submit a post because I have to edit more than once, as I tend to go on and on, especially when I am upset! Actually, we have been pursuing a definitive diagnosis after the results from the school evaluations (ADHD, likely inattentive) but have not been successful, i.e., pediatrician, then psychiatrist along with-therapist, then most recent psychiatrist along with-therapist (quit going to the therapist a while back but difficult child still goes to the psychiatrist). It is very trying! This most recent therapist difficult child had seen was really resistant to any input from me. in my opinion, it was a dead end but I kept my emotions in check around difficult child; however, difficult child said he didn't feel comfortable with him, anyway. Oh well, water under the bridge and we need to move on. I have heard from others who also recommend seeing a neuropsychologist; I assume a psychiatrist would be necessary as well for dispensing medications? I am sorry you had to go through the difficult time as a result of the Zoloft. That really stinks. I am seriously considering the idea of a second opinion. My husband just got home from work today and I am running all this by him. He agrees with me that there may be something more going on when we reflect on difficult children behavior, etc., [I]especially[/I] in recent years. Have a great day and thanks, again. [/QUOTE]
