[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 539901"] {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. Kids like ours are usually such big "puzzles" that it takes the RIGHT professionals and the RIGHT medications to get them where they need to be. I really feel for you. Always and forever, TRUST YOUR MOMMY GUT! God gave it to us for a reason and it is rarely wrong. When you say the current medication combination helps in some areas, what kinds of improvement have you noticed? Since sleep has been an issue, I would even consider pursuing a sleep study. It might be that she's getting enough sleep but then again she might not be and/or it might not be the right kind of sleep. Know what I mean?? A sleep study is really the only way you'll know for sure. Don't be surprised if the psychologist doesn't think a neuropsychologist is necessary or doesn't agree to one. It could come across to him/her that you don't trust their judgement. They could take it very personally since they are also psychologists but "only" have the NEURO to go with it. Not saying this will happen but don't want you to be surprised if it does. We changed psychiatrists because they weren't willing to write the order for a neuropsychologist because they didn't think it was necessary. We got a neuropsychologist done and it turned out the psychiatrist was WAY off base with diagnosis and therefore the medications. [/QUOTE]
