[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611760, member: 1550"] So she'll be mad? So what? She has no right to butt into your life to the degree that she does. You're not her little girl anymore and she isn't supposed to treat you like one and your kids are NOT her kids. Sorry. I'm probably close to your mom's age and I think she is being intrusive, bossy and is way out of line and needs a life of her own so she can let you go on without her two cents. Or you have to force the issue. If she gets angry, that's her issue, not yours. I would lprobably be so ticked off that the office gave Mom information that she is not entitled to that I'd switch doctors. This is sacrdd. This is HIPPA. They are seriously breaking the law here. Now my opinion on the medication change: You know I have a serious mood disorder too. NOTHING could make me change medications that worked. NOTHING. It may be that NO medication helps your child's anxiety much or it may be that she has to wait until she is older and tries a benzo. Benzos are the only medication that sate my anxiety, but of course you don't give that to minor children. Coping mechanisms helped me the most and I was a huge hypochondriac and a chock full of uber-fear when I was your daughter's age. Just like your daughter, school terrified me. I went because it was illegal not to, but didn't learn anything because my heart was pounding and I felt dizzy and I wanted to cry and run away and when I got older, I did cut classes to stop the claustrophobic feeling that school caused. The nurse knew me well...lolol. Anyhow, if Geodon works better than Seroquel, I would probably insist she go back on it. If your psychiatrist won't do it, I'd find another doctor who understands how much it helped your daughter. Chances are no medication is going to make much difference in your daughter's anxiety level...therapy is better for that for some people. But at least with Geodon she can sleep and YOU can sleep. Hugs. You can do this! [/QUOTE]
