[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 148903, member: 3444"] We have often had to try medications that were not approved for someone the age of my difficult child at the time. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of clinical trials for psychiatric medications for kids... or medications for kids in general. No one wants to subject a growing, developing person to the potential side effects of a drug -- there are real risks. Then again, there are real risks for not treating illness -- mental or physical. So psychiatrists and md's have to walk a fine line and use their best judgement. [/QUOTE]
