[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 246917, member: 1550"] I don't know, but we had my son on his medications when he tested and they still got it right. When he was re-tested without medications two years later, he did the same and tested with the same issues. Having said that, at times certain medications can drastically change behavior, for t he good or the worse, and mask things (I have taken medications since I was 23). Also, neuropsychologist testing is not just about school. It's all around behavior. I personally would not change medications until I had the neuropsychologist evaluation done. I just don't trust pediatricians with medication or knowing what is wrong with our kids, other than to diagnose the obvious things, like strep throat. My own experiences with pediatricians diagnosing have not been very positive and my current pediatrician refuses to do it, saying "it's not my field." I would be leery of two antidepressants. Heck, many kids can't even take one without losing it. And what if it's not ADHD? That's the usual first diagnosis. for most kids and it often turns out to not be right or to have a co-morbid with it. JMO [/QUOTE]
