[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 448189, member: 11847"] medications have already been suggested, but we politely turned it down. Until we have a diagnosis, I think it is best to not medicate. It is complicated enough as it is. Although difficult child has all those meltdowns and he is wearing me out, I have to say he is a happy little boy. We feel medications are a last resort solution. medications are rarely tested on children and that really bothers me. There is bearely any studies showing their results for pediatric use... I feel it's like a be experimental approach. I might change my mind on that topic, but I will not let the "heat of the moment" influence my choices. We are struggling right now, but once we have a little more answers, we will reassess the situation. I know the evaluations won't give a instruction manual to my son, but if we are not too much in the dark anymore, it might make thing easier. In the long term, I think my son needs to learn and understand his own disability (whatever it is). He will have to find ways to function and be productive in society. Find happyness. I believe those are things he can achive as long as he knows his weaknesses and strenghts. Medication will not teach him those skills. [/QUOTE]
