[QUOTE="mawmastewart, post: 78125, member: 1371"] Well, I cried today after talking to the pediatrician whose opinion was the third after (MT and Psychiatric Nurse Practicioner)to say that my son might need a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic. The reaction I had was actually one of relief but I still have serious issues with medications. I should probably be on an antidepressant right now but the thought of starting that merry go round again is terribly aversive to me. I went so far as to get an evaluation and script but still have yet to follow through. I just feel like, because I haven't done ALL that could be done in terms of diet exercise, special school, etc... that medications are a cop out for both me and my son. But this is ridiculous since designing the perfect environment is unrealistic. Right? Some support would be helpful. Anyone out there with ADHD/ODD kid on concerta and/or a mood stabilizer.. anyone with moral aversion to medications.. anyone who understands what it's like to have a difficult child that you love to death, would give your life for, and also want to kill a majority of the time because he recks havvoc on your life all the time? yah, you know who I'm talking to. Send me a life line. Thanks, Phoebe [/QUOTE]
