[QUOTE="DDD, post: 253049, member: 35"] Welcome. Glad you found us...sorry you had to. This is a terrific place and the only "mandatory" things I know about are avoiding vulgarity and political/social controversies. on the other hand, in the Watercooler on occasion we do get a bit "off" on hot topics like The Bachelor etc. :alien: I percieve the Board as a neighborhood of supportive diversity. Almost all the time you will find caring people prepared to listen and lend a hand as you try to get through the strains of life with a difficult child. Regarding your difficult child I am curious. Who did the diagnosing? Was it a pediatric psychiatrist? Did the professional do a complete neuropsychologist exam? How did you happen to choose that particular clinic? Lots of questions. :blushing: My experience has been that medications are usually introduced one at a time also. The only time one of mine has begun two new medications was the youngest (now 18) who after years of searching finally was seen by an awesome adolescent psychiatrist. In the difficult child world there are a bunch of exceptions to the rules but you'll find we all ask questions and ponder a bit before trying to reach out with advice. DDD PS: Did you post asking about nose bleeds the other day?? [/QUOTE]
