[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 104914, member: 1545"] When my daughter was in her Residential Treatment Center (RTC), she wanted to try a medication wash. She really wanted to be off all psychotropic medication - because they carried unpleasant side effects. She talked to us, to staff, to her psychiatrist. We allowed her the opportunity to try and be medication free. Within a month she was ready to go back on them. I'm really glad we allowed her the choice. I'm glad we supported her choice. By allowing her to do so, she learned that she needed to be on some medications. It was a much better lesson than us telling her she needed to be on medications. by the way: she's 19 now and has been medication free for over one and a half years. Shes doing great. medications aren't' always forever. Many kids get through those tough teen years and find they can navigate life without medications. [/QUOTE]
