[QUOTE="DDD, post: 362625, member: 35"] Fear of the unknown can be overwhelming. Furthermore medications don't usually just "solvethe problems". Very often it takes alot of trail and error to find "the combo" that allows a child to function at his/her best. Having a difficult child strains the best of marriages. I've known parents who have tried medications with-o the knowledge of the spouse and it has not worked well. It is close to impossible to "hide" medication use. In some cases, I think, it could actually be a danger to the child as side effects are not uncommon and mutual observation of behavioral changs is necessary to help the difficult child.Do you have any idea what type of medication the psychiatrist is likely to recommend? If so, I'd suggest doing internet research and becoming as educated as possible about the choices.My former spouse and I were not able to survive the stress of having a difficult child. In retrospect Iwonder if a little more mutual research might have made a compromise possible. difficult child's canreally benefit from having two parents available as they travel their difficult path.Good luck.
