[QUOTE="keista, post: 533262, member: 11965"] Welcome! I understand your concern about the drugs that are available, but if you find the right ones, it can be a godsend. However as it says in my signature, no medications is better than the wrong medications because they really can mess up a person. Still, some ppl/children's issues are so severe that there really is no choice but to "experiment" with medications. Not sure why you have to actually fight the school system over medication. They are not doctors and cannot diagnose or prescribe medication. It is ILLEGAL for them to even suggest a child needs medication for ANYTHING. However they do have a responsibility to provide your child with a Free and Appropriate Public Education whether your child is medicated or not. This is currently a touchy subject for me since my friend changed her daughter's medications due to the urging of the school staff (the child wasn't focused [I][B]enough[/B][/I]) Poor girl ended up in the ER. Please tell us more about your child. diagnosis, evaluations, behaviors, early development, etc. You'll find much support here. [/QUOTE]
