[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 215619, member: 1233"] As a medication wash can take weeks or months to do properly (one medication at a time, small steps down maybe one small increment per week or two to minimize withdrawal problems. Docs don't acknowledge withdrawal problems - google the medicine and withdrawal to get info on it ex: "prozac withdrawal"), we have always had to do them at home. HEck, a couple of our docs didn't even believe in medication washes for any reason. But if Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a problem you need to learn how to treat that. I don't have firsthand experience with it, but understand that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) has it's own big bundle of problems, one of which is very very difficult times learning almost anything. I would bring it up with the doctor and keep bringing it up until you get an answer you understand and seems to fit the situation. You probably should look for a developmental pediatrician to help with either problem. If travel is not a problem we have an AMAZING dev pediatrician in Tulsa, OK. Your post shows you are in Missouri, I can give you the dev pediatrician's website in a private message if you want. He does EXCELLENT evaluations with the team of doctors there (child is evaluated by a number of different professionals, then they "staff" it, meaning they all look at the results privately, and then talk out what they think is happening together, then the doctor meets with you). Sorry you are facing all of this. I truly truly HATE it when people use drugs and alcohol while pregnant. I really wish there was some way we could keep it from happening, it can ruin so much for the kids, from such an early age all through their lives. [/QUOTE]
