[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 421753"] You are not a horrible mother. We are trained to trust "the professionals". The problem is that WE know our kids better than they ever could. As for the medications causing the behaviors, that is VERY possible. If you've read any of my other posts you'll see we just went through similar situations. difficult child was put on a stimulant for his ADHD and it actually acted like speed for him. He has to be on a non-stimulant medication instead. Risperdone made him very psychotic. These are called "paradoxical reactions". In some people, medications actually cause the very symptoms they are meant to treat. When dealing with a psychiatrist, ask LOTS of questions and ask for LOTS of explanations if you don't thoroughly understand something. Let us know how the appointment went. [/QUOTE]
