[QUOTE="klmno, post: 194875, member: 3699"] I looked up thorazine on rxlist.com because I had only heard of it being used in-patient on people going through withdrawal or uncontrollable people. It actually does say that it can be used on kids from 6 mos to 12 yo who are severe behavioral problems and manic. Apparently, it has been used for this due to the risks of other MS's in young kids. But, the way it mentioned "major" or "severe" behavior problems gave me the impression that it would be for kids that made our difficult child's look typical. Maybe this dr is really old-school or something, I don't know. Maybe he had a young patient have a bad reaction to a typical MS in the past. All I know is that if they had told me my son needed thorazine, I would have fallen out of my chair. I would definitely want to explore other options first, or at least have someone explain to me why that shouldn't be done (as in- a second opinion), like SW mentioned. And really, what exactly would one see in a 6 mo old baby to be defined as "uncontrollable and severe behavior problem"? And if it was a difficult-to-handle baby, there are a lot of other options out there besides thorazine. [/QUOTE]
