[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 137435, member: 393"] [B]Jennifer, I, obviously, cannot answer whether you can do this with-o medications for your difficult child. I wonder if your difficult child will be able to function on a level that is acceptable with-o medications. Again, I'm not the one to answer that question. It sounds like with-o the medications, your difficult child will need a great deal of extra help in learning impulse control, calming enough to sleep & staying on task. My question to you would be, to what end? If your difficult child functions better & at a higher level with the medications why would you not utilize that resource? In our household, medications were a cra$shoot until we hit the best possible mix. Now it's teaching skills that were never learned or lost when the tweedles were not on the right medications. Now, especially in kt, we are seeing the ability to not only learn, but to use those life skills on a daily basis. As kt is showing improvements, psychiatrist is slowly decreasing - even discontinuing some medications. We're tweaking to the lowest possible dosages for kt & still have her functioning, doing as she is now. wm is still a experiment in progress. Just a few thoughts for you. As a mom - you are the only one who will know what you can & cannot handle & how your difficult child is doing. [/B] [/QUOTE]
