[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81692, member: 1233"] If you need some guidelines for what witz suggests, check out the parent report in the general archives on this site. I think it is there. Be prepared to tell the doctor what the major problems are. Be prepared to fill out a whole lot of paperwork. Be ready to ask for testing. There should be some idea of what is available if you search the site for Multi disciplinary evaluation. I know it is in the archives somewhere. Be ready to ask for info on the pros and cons of any medication, and a few days to think about it. Samples are wonderful. Asking for them is good also. But be sure to take time after the doctor has told you what medication(s) if any are recommended so that you can do your own research into side effects, withdrawal, and use in any diagnosis you or the doctor may think you are dealing with. Take time tonight to take some long, slow deep breaths. This is just the beginning. You don't have to jump all the hurdles tomorrow. Just be sure that they don't give you the ADHD diagnosis in 15 mins with no testing. Lots of things can and do look like ADHD. Just like lots of things look like many of the problems we see here. And, if it alls goes wrong tomorrow, you hate the doctor, or think he is a Donald Duck (aka a quack), well, you aren't out of time. No Matter WHAT the doctor SAYS: The little girl you love now with all your heart will be the little girl you take home with you. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
