[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 49924, member: 3211"] I think that for so many of us there seems to be, unfortunately, a missing 'puzzle piece' when it comes to our difficult children. We have been through a huge medication issue with difficult child in the past few months. His lithium level went to toxic stages and he was removed from that. A month later, he was hospitalized and removed from seroquel also. His thyroid function was being compromised and we weighed the pros and cons of the medications and came to realize that I don't believe there was ever a huge difference between difficult child before the lithium and seroquel and difficult child on the medications. Our difficult child is now on welbutrin. We don't see any adverse affects right now, but I often wonder if he wouldn't be just as well on no medications at all. Do your continued research and go with your gut. The doctors have case loads of children and we are dealing with just ours. They will listen to us, but I definitely had to find my voice, that's for sure. Hugs to you. You can see by this thread that there are many of us strapped into the roller coaster ride with you.
