[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 66557, member: 84"] Welcome Laura! [img]:grin:[/img] You've found a wonderful place for support from other parents walking in similar shoes. Have you ever read the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene?? Many parents here find it a huge help. Don't beat yourself up because you feel the time has come to consider medications for your child. I was a huge anti medication person, same reasons as you, for a long time. My older difficult child doesn't take medications except for his epilepsy. However, we finally got to the point with younger difficult child Nichole that medications were a certain necessity. (at 15) Life brings about changes. If your child requires medications to maintain a good quality of life it is no different than a diabetic child requiring insulin. And sometimes it really helps to look at it that way. I have to wonder with all of your certifications and job titles how on earth you couldn't handle nursing school. [img]:wink:[/img] I'm also well educated in the medical field and have always asked an over abundance of questions. If I hadn't my older difficult child would've never been diagnosed properly. But I hated the way some professionals acted as if you weren't to question their opinions. (I usually dropped them lol) Oh, and does your son have an IEP in place at school? Again welcome to the board. Hugs [/QUOTE]
