[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 319187, member: 1550"] My personal experiences with both medications: Paxil saved my life. I have no idea why. So many other medications that are related to Paxil made me nutty. But you won't know if Paxil is going to be good or bad for her for about eight weeks. This medication did not kick in for me until six weeks and it maxed out at eight. Now it's been over twenty years. Warnings: Some people get EXTREMELY agitated and manic on it either right away or after a time. And it is so hard to withdraw from that I never would. If it ever stops working, I will still take a little bit of it. I won't go through the horrific withdrawal. The verdict: It works great for some, horrible for others. Ritaliln: It made my mood disorder 10X worse. I would fly on the drug, then crash, which lead to a year long depression. Watch out for hyper-talking, highs and lows, crying, laughing too much, the whole moodswing thang. After I took Ritalin, that was it. I would never take it again. It did not help me focus. It made me feel like I was on speed. There is no way to know how it will affect your daughter over the long run. Have to wait and see. Remember, medications don't fix everything. You say she's adopted? How old was she when she came into your family? Do you have a biological history on her? Was she ever abused or exposed to drugs in utero? Or drinking? Has she ever had a complete neuropsychologist evaluation? How are her social skills and early development? Most of my kids are adopted (see below). Welcome to the board again :happy: Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
