[QUOTE="buddy, post: 512009, member: 12886"] I totally believe you and the reactions you have received from people like the principal. I think a huge majority here can relate to having people say we should just do X Y and Z and you want to say.. GEEEEE I never thought of that! DUH if that would work it would have worked the first, second or thousandth time I tried it. I was actually on 30 mg daily of Paxil and as I said we have an extensive family history of depression and anti depressant use including several teens and none have had those kinds of withdrawl symptoms...but as I said, it is an individual thing and I dont doubt that there are some that experience that. I have had to go off a course of oxycontin and I promise you THAT was much worse and I went very very very slowly off of that---much more slowly than I went off the Paxil. I certainly was not saying that YOU need to cope better..those books really do address just what you said....Ideas for how to actually deal with specific situations and to help teach kids who are often very oppositional. We really do know what it is like to have tried so much and it doesn't work. If you are saying you still want to try things, then ideas like in those books may be worth a try. If you feel letting go and allowing him to learn through natural/imposed outside consequences is the next logical step then I certainly support that too.... YOU live it...so you know where you are on that journey. You say you are worried about his delicate response to a therapeutic placement, but at the same time you are considering letting go and letting him face the consequences until he is ready to change (which could be the best choice for him for sure, I sincerely have not lived that road and I 100% believe that those who have walked that path can best help you face that decision, they really do understand that)...I can only imagine that jail/prison will be very hard on his system too. It is such a tough decision you are facing and no matter your choices, I for one support it... if you are looking for ideas we will share but as with all of us, if it does not fit, no problem....every family is different. I really feel badly for you and your wife and all that you have struggled through. [/QUOTE]
