[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 470772, member: 11791"] Not with those two in particular. We have a really good psychiatrist - one whose opinion I trust when it comes to medications. When we added an AP medication to difficult child's mix, she said that there are two things to watch for with any new medication... 1) a [U]reaction[/U] 2) [I]side-effects[/I] For a [U]reaction[/U]... you MUST change medications. BUT, for [I]side-effects[/I], it is often more effective (given that the medication is doing what is intended, without a reaction) to then deal with the side-effects with other medications. We haven't had to go there (yet)... but for example, some of the APs have the side-effect of light-headedness - if that had been bad enough, she would have added a blood-pressure medication or similar... Given the logic you presented above, it looks like this is what they are trying to do. But I don't have experience with THOSE particular ones. [/QUOTE]
