[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 224973, member: 1436"] My difficult child is not taking anything right now. His dxs are depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and CD. He also has IBS. He takes no pharmaceuticals. We went through the rounds with medications from 5 until he was 18. He was always medication compliant. They never really changed his behavior. He took everything from ritalin to depokote to respiridone and every anti-depressant known to man. At 18 he went to a rehab that required he be medication free. He hasn't taken anything since. He is still, by choice, a pot smoker. I do not condone his use. He is not supposed to bring it in my home. But, I know and he knows that he is self-medicating. He still has his moments. He broke a few things in his room several weeks ago. His worst time is morning. He has a hard time getting up and sometimes will rage when he first gets up. But...that has been leveling off and he is able to self-calm much easier than before. His anxiety has lessened in the past few months. But today, on most days he is happy and content with his life. He is nicer to his sister who he emotionally abused for years. He is great with kids. He helps out around here without expecting anything in return. [/QUOTE]
