[QUOTE="RWHangel, post: 306986, member: 7842"] Just want to add my input here as I am very picky myself about my kids medications. My difficult child is currently taking Concerta, Resperidal, and Clondine. Here is my 2 cents worth my difficult child is very large and only 6 so weight was a big issue for me too but I had to wiegh out what really causes the wieght gain is an increase in appatite. difficult child is currently 4'2 and wieghs in at 87lbs so already big. While in the hospital her doctor recommended Geoden for her aggression I declined due to sever side effects including liver failure and death. I will not allow that so I said we would deal with the possibility of wieght gain. There are times I have to remind her after she just ate and starts asking for more that her medicine makes her think she is still hungry and to give a few minutes if she is still hungry she can have more veggies or a piece of fruit that seems to work. She has a wieght complex as it is so this way of explaining it works. As to its effects she is a totally differant kid. I am actually impressed with the medications she is on. I actually took her off Trazadone (another one started at the hospital) after she came home and I noticed an increase in irritability and aggitation. So my recommendation is give it a try I have a totally differant kid and I am thrilled. Honestly you are the mother you know when things are just not for your kid take the chance if you don't like the reaction take your difficult child off it. Do your research too some medications have horrible side effects that unless I really really had no other choice I would not allow mine to take. Praying for you and your family. [/QUOTE]
