[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 385244, member: 6705"] Welcome to the family. Interestingly, we looked at a list of pediatricians in our area, narrowed to who took insurance and picked the first one who could get the kids in. Their previous family doctor wanted to medicate them into oblivion. Also treated them like morons, and they're not. However, being in a different country can sure make a difference. Jett was on Concerta - within one year went from 9 mg to 54 - sleepwalking, urinating in his sleep (inappropriate places), severe brattiness. When he was weaned - the garbage stopped. Onyxx refuses medications. She was great on risperdone, but says it gives her hallucinations. We've tried a shopping list of them and finally gave up (for now). She's 15, but still going to the pediatrician - I quit going to one about age 10. So I can see both sides of that. Honestly, a re-evaluation definitely should be done. And by the way - been there done that with parenting classes. Sure, they give you tools - for dealing with a easy child, not a difficult child. Hugs, and again welcome! [/QUOTE]
