[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 156779, member: 2423"] Whenever my son has said that he doesn't like the way a medication makes him feel, we take it very seriously, but we also tell him it is not his decision to make ALONE. We say that it is something we all need to talk over with the psychiatrist and explore all our options so we can make things better for him. Our psychiatrist is very respectful of my son's opinion and listens very carefully to what he has to say. Sometimes the psychiatrist says these are temporary side effects that will lessen the longer he takes the medications. Sometimes the psychiatrist comes up with a different medication option that he hopes will both treat the symptoms as well as elimate the bad side effects. Your son is old enough to be a part of his medical team, which should help him buy into the treatment and improve his medication compliance. [/QUOTE]
