[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 485475, member: 1514"] well....MWM...when Sonic was thought to have bipolar all those years ago, you thought every kid had bipolar. You thought bipolar was under every rock. I had Cory on depakote because that was all my county mental health psychiatrist would prescribe and you kept on me time after time to force him to change it lithium even though I didnt have much of a chance of doing that when I had to keep this psychiatrist to keep Cory in the program he was in. Then when Sonic was found to have aspergers, well, now everything is aspergers or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In fact, the whole country has gone autism crazy to me. Autism was so rare even 15-20 years ago, now there are at least 2 or 3 kids in every classroom. Im not sure I buy into as many kids having autism as they now claim. I think eventually they are going to find out eventually that some of the adult diagnosis's can be diagnosed way younger than they think so they dont need to make up dumb names for kids diagnosis's. medications, If they help the symptoms, go for it. I think 6 weeks should give you enough time to know if something is working or not unless there is an extremely bad reaction right away. [/QUOTE]
