[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 426904, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome to the board. We don't have a lot of information from you. I'm going to ask a few questions that will help us help you :) 1/Who diagnosed him? Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? How old is he and what are his symptoms? 2/How was his early development? Speech? Eye contact? Cuddly? Any quirks or obsessions? Motor skills? Does he know how to hold a give and take conversation? How does he get along with his same age peers? Can he transition well from one activity to another? How are his school grades? 3/Are there any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of his genetic family tree? My opinion of his medications are that whoever is choosing them is throwing way too much stimulating stuff at him of the same type of medication. He is on two antidepressants (Prozac and Straterra). I have depression problems and two antidepressants would be way too much for me to handle. Do you see any good things from these medications or is he the same or worse? Are you comfortable with the diagnoses? I am wondering if t his doctor has a good handle on what is going on. The fact that he wants to add yet another medication, may indicate that your child is not doing well so he is throwing yet another drug at your child. Is your son in therapy too? You may want to do a signature like I did below. [/QUOTE]
