[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 157415, member: 4888"] My husband was also very against medications, and we didn't start them until difficult child was 15. We didn't medicate until our son was severely out of control, and we had pretty much run out of other options. husband was still against medications, but didn't have any other suggestions. Had we started medications earlier, our son might not have had as much trouble as he did. Our son became a different person once we found the right medications (that did take some trial and error). He was a joy to be around for the first time in a long time, and was working and going to school without any real issues. He turned into an almost easy child. After he turned 18, he stopped taking medications, and he turned back into Mr. Hyde. In the last few months, I talked him into going back on medications (actually I kind of blackmailed him, but the situation was getting severe again), and he is once again a lot more pleasant. He still has his moments, but not nearly like he was pre-medication. I expect him to continue to improve if he stays on the medication. husband, who was so against medications, and against any kind of mental health diagnosis, has done a complete 180. He recently told me difficult child can't live here unless he continues taking his medication. I'm not saying medications are the complete answer, and everyone says there is no magic pill, but I think if medications are needed, and you find the right medications, it really is almost like magic. I hope you're able to get your daughter whatever kind of help she needs. [/QUOTE]
