[QUOTE="klmno, post: 179980, member: 3699"] Hello and Welcome!! You've already gotten some good advice- I'll just reiterate what I think are very important (but I'm no dr either!!). I'd be hesitant to agree to prozac- knowing what I know now and given your son's issues that he's exhibiting - I'd ask about mood stabilizers or something else too- I personally would not feel comfortable with a stimulant or anti-depressant in this situation, especially when it appears that they are just looking for a trial medication. Secondly, I think he needs neuropsychological testing and, if it were me, I'd try to get an MDE after that with a psychiatrist and developmental pediatrician. Those results should give you a strong place to start. You'll get diagnosis, specific effects it is having on him in general and at school, and will come with recommendations for m,eds, therapy, school (IEP), and anything else. Oh- and keep coming back here!! There are great parents here who understand how you feel, will "listen" when you need to talk, and offer plenty of experianced advice that you can consider while going through this. You aren't alone- [/QUOTE]
