[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 728736, member: 22819"] I'm about as radically against western medicine as a person can be. Don't even keep aspirin in the house. But, ironically, my son is on an anti-psychotic. I accepted/decided because it was too big a risk not to do it. The medications help him with his impulsivity and intolerance to frustration. This means that it helps prevent him from running away or committing suicide. I don't know if this helps you at all, just saying, it depends what you're up against, how much more you can take without the help of chemicals. If it hadn't been a life or death situation for us, we would have kept on trying other things. Maybe weigh the risks with and without the medicine - side effects vs. the effects of your child's disorder. [/QUOTE]
