[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 377613, member: 1233"] This is just my opinion. From things I have learned here and researched elsewhere. your daughter is very hard to treat medically and psychologically. You also have problems of your own, like the rest of us, and are struggling to handle all of those problems. You need a psychiatrist who will work with you and your daughter. You DO need to give medications a longer trial than I remember you doing in the past. It is terribly hard to wait so long to see if it will work and the side effects will get better. I know. Most of us here know. It is also important and necessary. You need to go back and write a parent report - the link is in my sig. Include all medications tried and her reactions. You can get a list of medications going back years from your pharmacist if you as, or you can check to see what medications insurance has paid for. Dig out the old assessments. Put it all in a report. Take that report, with ALL the info, to a psychiatrist. Ask if he will work with you. I hope the psychiatrist you just found is excellent and will help you. in my opinion, from past medication reactions and this one, PLEASE do not give your child an SSRI/SNRI medication again. They simply have not worked for her. You say she has a mood disorder. It seems likely. READ The Bipolar Child. I know not all of it fits your difficult child. But it can be helpful. ASK if he will use this as the guide for helping your daughter. Then please, give what he says a try. No more having pediatricians deal with psychiatric medications. You already know he isn't qualified but you had to try something. I know how lost and hopeless you felt/feel. It is horrible, but you have fought it before and won. I have faith in you. Many huge hugs. [/QUOTE]
