[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 533556, member: 11791"] Malika... Both of mine are on medications (me too...). But... THEY absolutely refuse to consider going back to "no medications". In other words... I'm not medicating them for "me", nor for "school". They are on medication because THEY need it to cope with school, and to "have a life". And I feel sorry for any psychiatrist that tries to argue that they don't need their medications. THEY have their backs up instantly. Unless safety is an issue (as was the case with Liahona's family, I believe), I totally support your wait-and-see approach to medications. When things become a problem for J, he will be in a better position to appreciate the trade-offs that medications present, to help weigh the pros and cons, to tell you if the medication helps or doesn't help or "isn't worth the side-effects"... or "helps so much that it IS worth the side-effects"...
