[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 97252, member: 3626"] Sorry, I think your son has a wonderful advantage -- he has YOU for a mother. You know what the anxiety feels like. You know how to help him cope. Most of us are blind to this, we have to guess. It is hard when you can't even come close to their feelings. For example, I'm fearless sometimes to the point of being reckless. My daughter is very, very cautious. It takes a long time for her to get the courage to do something and then it usually comes from a no-choice situation. It is hard for me to be patient and wait for her to muster her courage to try doing something and has caused more than one meltdown because I just didn't understand. Okay, your medicine cabinet is a small drug store. Something tells me it is because you've tried everything else to cope. I do understand your reluctance to medicate him but it may be that if you can get his anxiety under control now, he won't need as much medication when he's older. Sometimes medications can help you get something under control and show you that it is something you can deal with. I do agree that medication should be a last resort but if you know that medications are the only thing that will work, then it may be time to consider different medications. Definitely time for a new evaluation! [/QUOTE]
