[QUOTE="keista, post: 453099, member: 11965"] OMG I'm so sorry your school so blatantly lied to you. Yeah, let's keep it off the record, Oh, and you stay out of it too, and now we'll just start taking away all those 'off the record' accommodations we promised you, and HA now you can't do anything because there's not record of her having any problems! GRRRRRRRRRRR Glad the school she's in seems to be a good fit for now. I don't blame you for being concerned about the SSRI's. Yes, unfortunately, these medications can have the opposite effects that we are looking for. Unfortunately again, there is no way to know which medication is good or bad for any particular person at any given time. medications that don't work in childhood may end up being a saving grace in adulthood. This is the reason you need a good psychiatrist that is willing to asses and really work with you as opposed to just writing a scrip. One of the first we worked with had no interest in doing any "real" work with us. Just kept writing the same scrip and insisted all those "new" behaviors were a new diagnosis of ODD and, no the medications had nothing to do with it. I did not leave him fast enough. When you go over her symptoms in your head, or telling ppl about them, (tdocs, psychiatrists, us) leave out all those behaviors you think were caused by the SSRI's. Mention that XYZ happened while she was on an SSRI, but leave it out of her overall symptoms. The reality is, those symptoms are symptoms of the medication, and not her real issues. My DD1 had bad reactions to 2 SSRIs and bad side effects to a third. DD1 also had dissociative type states while she was on Paxil. I was calling them 'creepy episodes' because to me and her brother, it was very obvious it was not really her. Since we stopped the Paxil, no more 'creepy'. And if your 'mom gut' tells you to keep her off SSRI's, stick to your gut and stay strong. DD1 ended up in crisis stabilization while on Abilify.

Right now she's medication free so I can asses her NATURAL symptoms and start from scratch. And, just so you know, DD1 is not AS but has similar anxiety and mood swing issues to your G. by the way if that's her real name, you can go back and edit it out of your posts.
