[QUOTE="SRL, post: 190304, member: 701"] karif, I would also suggest talking with your pediatrician to find out if there are any other pediatric doctors in the region you could consult with (or the pediatrician could call) that handle these medications. It's pretty unusual for these types of medications to be used in a three year old in the first place, but given the level of violence you were seeing I understand that decision. As we mentioned earlier, it's pretty unheard of for a doctor to be starting a very young child on two such medications at the same time which really makes me a little concerned about the prescribing doctor. Think about it--why prescribe two from the start when it's possible that one could do the job or that one could tide you over until interventions are put into place? Especially in a child so young that there's no way they could describe the side effects. I'm not a doctor, and it's possible another doctor would also suggest the medication route, but as a parent I would be wanting a second opinion, especially since evaluations in other areas haven't been conducted.
