[QUOTE="Andy, post: 205355, member: 5096"] You have got to go wth your instincts. You know your daughter better than anyone else. It is o.k. to go without the medications if you believe she can make it. For my son's anxiety, we used the medications to help him get through until he had a chance to learn and master coping skills. We are now taking him off the medications because I believe he can use his skills. If I am proven wrong, we can always put him back on but for now my instincts are telling me it is right. Your daughter is working at overcoming her anxiety and you have her involved in some out of school activities. These are good. You will be able to tell if life is too miserable for her. If she is struggling and doesn't feel she is getting anywhere than you can rethink the medication. Each person is different. Not everyone improves with medications. If you do get any feedback encouraging the medications, know that it is not a judgement against you if you do not give the medication but a sign of support. We want what is best for your daughter and all input will help you make a decision one way or the other. Someone may have a viewpoint that you have not considered but we all respectfully allow you the final say and will support you through your decision. [/QUOTE]
