[QUOTE="DDD, post: 398357, member: 35"] What type of physician are you using? Sometimes it is necessary to step it up to a more qualified expert. Is she being seen by a child Psychiatrist? Also, I noted that you said she wants off all medication. Sorry Charlie. A ten year old is not capable of making life impacting choices. Almost all of our children have said the same thing. on the other hand, it's important for her to know that her parents are making the choices for her wll being and that she can make the choices when she is an adult. Sometimes thre are side effects from an Rx that need to be avoided if possible. There are alot of medications that your Dr. can choose from in trying to help her function at her best. I know it is difficult. Are you keeping a daily journal of behaviors and activities (as well as medications)? It can be very valuable for the MD's and also for your family. Just writing down daily events sometimes clarify the issues and patterns so some form of adjustment can be made....it also gives the Dr. actual documentation rather than just parental opinions. I suggest you start one right away. You won't regret it. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
