[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 109601"] Regarding medications, it is a very individual issue. My difficult child takes lexapro which is just the newer version of celexa (one doctor called it a 'refined' version) and it's made all the difference in the world. Not only that, but one person may be able to tolerate celexa, but not zoloft (another SSRI antidepressant). Just because one person or parent has had a bad experience with a medication doesn't mean everyone will. What is a bad medication for one person may be a godsend to another. It's a lot of trial and error. Psychiatry is not an exact science, but they are learning more everyday. Further, you should never remove a child - or adult - from a medication without doctor supervision. If I quit taking lexapro cold turkey, I'd be sick - literally - for weeks. Most antidepressants require that you taper off of them. [/QUOTE]
