[QUOTE="SRL, post: 170618, member: 701"] For what it's worth, Geoden is a medication that I don't hear used with the little ones very often, but I think every time a child has come through the Early Childhood board trialing it, it's resulted in serious side effects. I see your son is 9 but I thought I'd toss that out. in my opinion, four medications is an awful lot for a 9 year old. I'd be extremely reluctant to have a child that young on so many medications unless a) all other options had been exhausted and b) the psychiatrist had an excellent reputation for medications. If he's never been stable has going inpatient to start over with those medications ever been considered? Has he been seen by a neurologist to rule out seizure activity? We often suggest that to parents who aren't getting anywhere. [/QUOTE]
