[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 12800, member: 2389"] Okay I am going out on a limb here~ I don't have the knowledge or experiences with the different medications you are refering to. I do know in my experience with adhd and odd, the medications either made my son a zombie or he said made him feel strange. We tried several, adderal,strattera,zoloft,paxil,i am sure I am leaving some out. We stopped all medications. He did complete his GED without medications, something he had tried to do with medications. The difference being he was in jail when his ged was completed. So that really makes you wonder how much outside stimuli has to do with his actions and thought process. In my own depression about my difficult child. I saw a therapist that told me I was on the verge of hospitalization. I know my reaction to this statement would be considerably different than a teen, but it made me question my whole being. I was put on antidepressants and had many sucidal thoughts. It scared me. I then talked with therapist who changed my medications, within two weeks I was much worse and could not make myself get out of the bed. Nothing mattered. I took myself off medications completely and have been okay since. I think the medications got me to the point I neede to be to get "over" the hill, yet I think if I had continued to take them I would not be here now. I know everyone has different opinions of medications, and I am just sharing my thoughts. Yet, I still wonder if the medications screwed up my difficult child when he was forced to take them? He always told me he felt funny when he took them, and I always trusted the docs and administered them. After my episode with medications I listened to him and we stopped the medications. Not saying that was the right thing to do, because he is currently using drugs and coping with like as a difficult child [/QUOTE]
