[QUOTE="busywend, post: 183917, member: 391"] Here is the evaluation you want. The pediatrician may be able to get you a referral - but most pediatrician docs are not that familiar with the medications and their reactions. This is a multi-disciplinary evaluation. Preferrably done at a Children's Hospital. (I took my difficult child to Strong - I see you are in Upstate, too!) [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/URL] Next, even though you are informed it is difficult to know how a pediatrician doctor or a psychiatrist will react to your knowledge. Many psychiatrists have been known to get defensive if you start talking about what you have read on the internet...LOL! Tread lightly when revealing your knowledge. Ask the psychiatrist for information before you reveal what you 'thought' you read somewhere. Also, your pharmacist is very valuable in helping you understand the medications and their reactions/side effects, etc. [/QUOTE]
