[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 451987, member: 1550"] My older son was on Lamictal and had a terrible reaction to it. Not all medications work well for everyone, so I'd keep an eye on the child. My son developed double vision and it was really scary, but he was on a very high dose. However, as an adult, his dosage was, naturally, four times what they plan on giving your daughter (which was too much for him). If your child is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), I'm not sure why doctor said child will need to be on medications all his life. My son is better off of medication. Only 50% of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids need medication. Many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) children, like my son (actually he is now seventeen) outgrow a lot of the behaviors that prompted a psychiatrist to use medication. I personally didn't like my son on ap's...he had some nasty side affects. I take psychiatric medication for a serious mood disorder so I have no choice, but I'm here to tell you that these medications, which can be life saving, can also have terrible side effects. It took me twenty years to find medications that both worked and didn't make me feel funny. [/QUOTE]
