[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 155534, member: 1233"] I personally do not feel that pediatricians are educated or equipped to handle psychiatric medications. they do have samples, and limited info given by drug co reps to get them to push the medications on kids. I have gotten many samples from our pediatrician simply because no one in the practice felt OK prescribing them and my child was already prescribed them. The fact that they had so many samples (months at a time worth) was scary. But they pitched them if they didn't have a patient with a psychiatrist prescribing them. (doctor said they had no psychiatrists at the free clinic and did not feel OK giving them to that!) With such an angry child the reality is that if you don't find a psychiatrist or other doctor tofigure out what is going on, your child may seek out the crack dealer (or other drug dealer) simply to get a break from the constant anger. A full multidisciplinary evaluation is the best thing. Writing a Parent Report is essential. The format can be found on the index page in the Board FAQ section (I am pretty sure). It lets the docs all have the same info, and know what you know about your child. Be careful with what you let school have. I am so sorry your daughter is so angry. It hurts a mommy heart to watch a child handle so much anger. [/QUOTE]
