[QUOTE="klmno, post: 112308, member: 3699"] That's true Totoro, but one problem is that once a kid has gotten in trouble, sd, courts, etc, better see something getting changed/done or else they accuse the parent of not doing anything to address it and there are much bigger problems- we faced this in late winter 2 years ago. If I went to psychiatrist and said I want to try XXX instead of medications, he wouldn't call courts, but it would come out somehow and if whatever I tried didn't produce big miracles, I'd be in big trouble and difficult child probably wouldn't be living here. Also, they have trouble understanding that if psychiatrist and I have a conversation where he says "I'm thinking about trying this," and I say "can we wait a little or can we try this" that is not the same thing as me going against doctor's advice. Really, once difficult child got into trouble and sd and courts start scrutinizing, I have to be careful how I handle things regarding the medications and everything. I never wanted him on prozac to begin with- I truly wanted to try other modifications, but I couldn't even get tdocs to deal with anything other than behavior because difficult child had gotten into trouble and psychiatrist at psychiatric hospital wanted to start prozac- I was scared to death not to. This is exactly why, though, the real underlying issues have NEVER been addressed. And, why I'm glad psychiatrist on evaluation team said this is what needs to be taken care of FIRST. I just pray she puts that in writing and that I can get a copy. SOON! [/QUOTE]
