[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 226747, member: 1233"] Welcome, Mamanet! I am glad to have you here, but so sorry you need to be here, if you know what I mean. It sure sounds like you have tried just about everything you could think of besides medicine. This question is rather simplistic, but it does get a point across: If your child was diabetic and you worked with his diet and exercise and everything, but it still was not "right", would you refuse to give him medication if the very first medicine you tried did not work? I KNOW that it is not that simple. I truly do. But it is one way to view the problem at hand. My son is an Aspie, and on some days might not completely qualify for the diagnosis. Ddpends on how well he liked the instructor. If you are very concerned about the medicine, then call the doctor and talk about these issues. If you do have an Aspie on your hands, he may or may not need medication. It is generally used to treat symptoms rather than try to "fix" the problem. Wiz (my son) bounces all OVER if he doesn't take his ADHD medications. And he is on other medications for toher things.) it takes a lot of trial and error (this is why they are still "practicing" medicine, LOL!) The best advice I can probably give is to follow your instincts. We came with instincts to help our children survive. If we listen to them, usually we will go the right way iwith our kids. [/QUOTE]
