[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 336277, member: 2423"] IQ scores can change over time and actually are more accurate as the child reaches adolescence (according to the neuropscyhs we've used). You should also make sure that the test used to measure IQ is the same each time because each IQ test is not compatible with another. For example, my son's IQ was first measured with a WISC-III test, which is not comparable to his IQ measured with a WISC-IV test six years later. That is not to dispute that medications can have an effect on cognitive ability. However, we found recently that my younger daughter's IQ subtest scores increased over a 1.5 year period after medications were increased to address her anxiety (including the addition of the mood stabilizer Lamictal).
