[QUOTE="keista, post: 433363, member: 11965"] Sorry, sorry, sorry. I did not mean to scare at all. To quote myself: Even with the really bad hiccups we've had I wouldn't go back to no medicine for her. After the first one I considered going back to medication free because it was SO wrong for her and the psychiatrist refused to write anything else for her (he was right, I was wrong, end of story) so I found a new psychiatrist and got new medications that worked, and even though they worked, they didn't fix everything, so we added another which was a godsend - for a while. New symptoms started emerging. Took me a while, but with the help of this forum (seeing things through different "eyes"/perspectives) I determined the culprit for the new symptoms was also the "godsend" medication. Now getting her off of it and looking forward to the next step, but not going back to medication free. The good times in between allowed her to see what "normal" should be like. She has a basis of comparison now which she never had before. I've heard and seen some ppl get the right medications the very first time. It can happen. Just not for DD1, and not for everyone. It's very lucky you found this group BEFORE you started medications. I'm sure everyone here will agree that one of the best things you can do is start keeping a log of DS2's symptoms. This will help in keeping track if a medication is working, making things worse, causing new symptoms, etc. [/QUOTE]
