[QUOTE="keista, post: 438330, member: 11965"] Well, there is always hope you'll find the right medication. I never thought I'd medicate my own child at the age of 8 but I did. It's been two years of a roller-coaster ride. Every medication she tried had helped to some degree, but then she started with bad side effects/reaction. I don't ever regret starting medications. Life without them was sooooooooooo much more difficult than even the most difficult side effects/reactions. Right now she seems stable and is hew amazing self. There are still issues (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/hoarding/chronic disorganization) which medications alone don't help, BUT she stays calm enough where we can work on these things without her having a meltdown. [B]Running[/B]'s analogy was a really good one. Becasue they all have a bit of a perfectionist in them, I'm constantly telling my kids SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. It's the same with medications. by the way why would you want a "shy, quiet, timid child" - those qualities will bring on problems of their own. [/QUOTE]
