[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 53230, member: 2423"] Because Strattera is an antidepressant, you DO need to wean from it. Please get medical advice about how to do it. Sometimes it takes a few weeks or so to get a read on baseline behavior without medications because removing the medication can stir things up. All of the above conditions qualify as disabilities for an IEP AS LONG AS the disability causes significant educational impact. Tantruming at school qualifies as educational impact. I would take it very seriously that your difficult child is saying he wants to die. That is not normal pre-teen behavior. It indicates he is hurting emotionally, and it needs attention. It could be from the medication he's on (suicidal ideation), or it could be depression that is not being addressed properly. You definitely need to pay attention to this symptom. [/QUOTE]
