[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 222170, member: 6118"] all our psychiatrists would hand me adhd medication scripts, after a 10 min meeting.........shame they never did work. I found that ALL our psychiatrists over the years wanted to give me a script by the time we left. Ok, scoop on Xanax....it's a great drug, HIGHLY addicting, and yes...more of a bandaid approach to the problem. Zoloft. Great drug....for depression. NOT good for anyone under the age of 18. we tried this with- my difficult child for about 9 months without improvement, and dr gave script based on what I said (and I only mentioned that she sometimes seems sad) Prozac. originally for anxiety. great drug. really did help al Occupational Therapist (OT) of people In the years I was at the pharmacy, seems like 90% of people are expecting drugs to change the world. If something is wrong, take a pill and it'll be ok. I hate the approach, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to try. I will wait about 3-12months to see if the medications have improved our situation. I always asked the PharmD's about what they thought. They're wonderul brains to pick. If you have reservations about giving either medication, then I'd follow your instincts. But is it the drug itself, or the person wanting to prescribe it that you're not sure about? [/QUOTE]
