[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 558862, member: 14557"] I do like that they try 'milder' ones first. If they work, that is awesome, if not, they can try something else. I do think that this way difficult child is also more willing to try. As we all know, psychiatric medications tend to be quite trial and error anyway, so mostly I'm just happy, that difficult child was able to voice his opinions and felt he was heard. That is huge for him and I hope that this experience helped his self esteem in these things. That in future he dares to advocate himself more in appropriate matter and is more willing to deal with these kind of things. Until now difficult child has usually decided beforehand that he would not be heard anyway and simply sulked or behaved in obnoxious manner in this kind of situations. And then felt bad and violated afterwards. I'm sure that his success now was mostly because of doctors knowing him and being able to handle him and encourage him and he wouldn't had done as well, if doctors wouldn't had known what they were dealing with, but still this kind of success is a great learning experience for difficult child. And of course these kind of medications work so differently for different people. I'm sure many people would not feel so strongly about dizepam as difficult child. After all many people use them during the day and are perfectly able to function. difficult child got the panic attack after away game and the home team doctor was the one to give him diazepam. difficult child got first quite sleepy but was able to pack his things etc. but fell quickly asleep at bus and when they got home few hours later in early morning hours they had tough time waking him up. And even after they got him awake, he was less than coherent. He was able to walk and talk and do what he was told to do (even brush his teeth), but apparently his conversation topics were quite interesting and he behaved like he was drunk. Two of his team mates escorted him home with orders to make sure he was in his bed and sleeping before leaving him. Next day difficult child felt slow, clumsy and out of sync in practise and that is his main problem with diazepam. He also didn't really remember much about things between falling asleep in the bus and waking up from his own bed at morning and didn't like much about that either.
