[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 25399"] I believe that's what is called a medication-wash. I'm also under the impression (but not sure as I haven't had any experience with it) that it's done inpatient. At the very least, it's under doctor supervision and they may titrate down the medications rather than just removing them outright, as that might cause adverse reactions. I don't think anyone here would think you are horrible for trying to do right by your child. I know I certainly wouldn't. Whatever you and psychiatrist decide is best is what you have to go with. It may very well be called for in your case. Other members here have had experience with it and can tell you more. Conventional wisdom says to add one new medication at a time so if there are any adverse reactions, you can pinpoint which medication is causing them. Just like when introducing foods to an infant...one at a time to watch for allergic reaction. I hope your difficult child realizes, at least one day, how lucky she is to have you. [/QUOTE]
