[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 545235, member: 11847"] V is not medicated but doctor have wanted to try medications before (repeatidly actually). husband and I did not feel comfortable with it so we took the wait and see approach. All the while doing his therapies of course. The Occupational Therapist (OT) recommanded against medications saying it would only add to the mix and make things even more difficult to analyze. What she said made sense to us and V has stayed medications free and probably will. At the school meeting I just had, they asked if he was on medications for his anxiety. My response was that he is not on medications because we'd rather work on the cause of the anxiety. medications would only be a band-aid. If we keep the overstimulation as low as possible through accomodations, then his anxiety is very well controlled. Te adults in his life have to be very vigilant. It is a lot of work but it also teaches V how to cope. Both teacher and principal seemed to accept my answer. And of course, the school is not legally allowed to comment on medications... I am not telling you what to do, just sharing what we have done for V. I feel at peace with our decision. You need to find an answer YOU can live with, wether it involves medications or not. [/QUOTE]
