[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 92695, member: 1233"] As I understand it you ASKED the pediatrician to test for other things and he offered a choice of 2 medications. If you went to a restaurant and asked for the soup and they brougt you a bowl of plumbing parts, would you leave and find a new restaurant? Is the doctor normally this unresponsive, or is this unusual for him? If it is unusual, give him another chance. Call and say you want blood work and other things to rule out a physical cause BEFORE you use serious medications with serious side effects. If he won't order the tests, get a new pediatrician. You are going to need a good pediatrician on your side. Onewho listens to you. Otherwise this is going to be a rough and scary ride. I am glad you are working to rule out other things first. I wish I had been informed enought to get an EEG (sleep deprived) and blood work before we tried medications. Hopeyou have a good day! Susie [/QUOTE]
