Crumbling Family Rock
daughter saw a Developmental pediatrician. last week. husband said she didn't get a prescrip, she has to look through the paperwork and results still. Going back on 8/8. She wrote down Impulse Control, Mood Stabilizer and ODD. She asked if she's hypersexual, which she is. husband thinks she asked this because I suggested Risperidol, which husband looked up and it says it could make that worse. Based on those three things, and the fact one of the biggest issues we're having right now is lying, what medicines would she be prescribed? I want to look them up before we go and have knowledge of them to be able to talk to her about them so we can get the medications going.
Also, because husband started looking these medications up, he's been backing off from agreeing that she needs medications. He's such a d*mn hippie that he can't see how much it would benefit her. He wants to give her natural stuff. I told him if the doctor recommends something natural, I'll go with it, but I think she needs anti-psychotics. She's going to hit puberty soon and it'll probably get worse.
I'd like to hear "my kid has similar traits, and he/she is on x drug, and it makes these symptoms better and causes these side effects", and knowing fully that every kid is different and medications affect everybody differently.
