[QUOTE="SRL, post: 398756, member: 701"] Have they tried anything else with him? in my opinion--and I'm just a mom but I know a lot of us will agree here--four medications is a lot for such a young child who can't express himself well except through behaviors. I'm not suggesting a different type of specialist, but I'd definitely talk to the doctor about trialing some others, and if he/she isn't open I'd be looking to consult with a different doctor. With some medications you won't see side effects right away but they will gradually increase and then it's really, really tough figuring out what's going on. Wtih four medications it's also really tough. One other thing to mention is that if medication changes are difficult, sometimes doctor will do a hosptial admit for a few days, and then he'd have 24/7 safe supervision. We've had families use that option who had kids who medication changes were difficult for. What therapies is he getting, and do Occupational Therapist (OT) techniques seem to be helping? [/QUOTE]
