[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 558372, member: 14557"] Andy, thanks for reminding that he should write down his questions and concerns, that could help him also voice them and advocate himself. He is quite nervous and feeling bad about it and is convincing himself that they will bully him to do as they want and will not listen to him. I did give him list of my concerns and questions and he was in fact happy about that. He is still young enough to think that mom's concerns are considered more valid than his own by professionals. So he is likely to use those questions at least. I have noticed in this board that many kids seem to be on Tenex. It is a medication that is not in our market but how much does it differ from for example clonidine? Around here antihypertensives other than beta blockers don't seem to be used to other things than blood pressure though. Beta blockers can be little iffy with him. They are used on social phobias also here, but difficult child doesn't really have any certain situations he would be anxious with. It is more like he is just all the time being very afraid of being total screw up, not living up to the expectations and feeling bad about himself most of the time overall. beta blockers can also interfere with sports quite badly (both in making physical ability to lower and on the other hand it is forbidden by anti-doping rules in some sports.) At least difficult child haven't had other panic attacks now right after the first one and he doesn't seem to be too worried about them. And even during the attack he wasn't for example worried something would be physically wrong with him even though the doctor treating him took his EKG and was thinking of hospitalizing him to make sure it was nothing heart related (there has been some very tragic cases in Europe there players have gotten heart attacks during the games lately.) difficult child said he mostly felt like when he was younger and having a meltdown. Just that he wasn't screaming and raging but shaking and not able to stop crying. But he said that the feeling of not being able to control himself was the same. [/QUOTE]
