[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 579061, member: 1550"] Prozac was poison in my house for three of us. Zoloft made me so sick I ended up in the hospital after two weeks. It does take a while to get back to normal because each psychotropic drug changes the brain chemistry of each person. Even when the drug is out of your system, your brain chemistry may still be out of whack for a while. I am very sensitive to medications and had many medication reactions. It took a while, but I always eventually got the bad effects out of my system. But it never happened overnight. I have an ironclad rule...I will take and give my children up to two psychotrophic medications at one time. No more. I think too many really screws you up more than it helps, and I've been on too many and know how horrible it feels. Don't let any psychiatrist talk you into overmedicating your child. Question: If your son has anxiety, why the Concerta? That is only going to make him more nervous. Sometimes I just loathe doctors. I used to wonder if they just plucked a medicine out the air and prescribed it to see if it worked and I felt like a guinea pig! One last question: After looking at your list of diagnosis. for your kids, wondering if they were ever tested for Asperger's Syndrome. Who diagnosed them? Many of us here kind of think ODD is a wasted diagnosis...not very helpful...doesn't explain WHY the child is defiant. [/QUOTE]
