[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 285723, member: 1631"] Jeppy, therapist is a therapist, like a psychologist vs. psychiatrist which is a psychiatrist. I do think medications are over prescribed at times. We left difficult child's first psychiatrist because he always seemed to be pushing too many medications. Later we found out he had never reached the theraputic level of Lamictal before he switched him off of it. thi Even though my difficult child is on more than two medications I don't think he is overmedicated. One mood stabilizer alone never worked for him, not sure why one alone never worked but I would at some point like to get him off the Topamax. He needs the Loxapine which is his AP and the Clonidine really helps with ADHD issues. He is by no means a zombie. Even in regards to other issues I think medications are overprescribed especially antibiotics. The pediatrician we have for our kids gets very upset if an antibiotic is prescribed and there is no proof of an infection. One time easy child's quick strep test came back negative but the immediate care prescribed an antibiotic any ways saying he thought the long term would come out positive. It never did and you should have seen how mad her pediatrician got about that prescription!! [/QUOTE]
