[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 541271, member: 14356"] I really don't know anything about medications because neither of my children are on them at this point.... but, I do know that when I tried to wean myself off of antidepressants too quickly I absolutely lost it. It was horrible for me and I had to go back on them for a while and then wean myself off even slower. If it was me I think I'd put him back on the medications until he seems better then go back to the psychiatrist and tell him you are going to wean your child off of the medications because you don't believe they are actually helping him. Once psychiatrist knows that you intend to do it then maybe he can give you a schedule to wean difficult child off of the medications with. I would also keep track of his behaviour over the next several months to see if you can notice more anxiety/meltdowns as the medication is decreased. Sometimes behaviour creeps in and you don't notice it is increasing until it is out of control. I'm sure others with some experience (because I have none - except with myself) will have better information and experience with this. [/QUOTE]
