[QUOTE="Janna, post: 255221, member: 2737"] I wouldn't go back. Honestly. Some psychiatrists do more harm than good, and this psychiatrist is bogus. Sometimes, nothing is better than garbage. Here's my thoughts on the medications, anyway - Adderall is good for ADHD for some. But, I can tell you J took it, it caused increased anger and aggression (side effect in prescribing information) not only with him (on a small dose, too, like 5 mg if I remember right) and even WORSE with D. Oh, and kids SELL Adderall. Um, difficult child *asking* for it, I'd automatically say NOPE! Yeah, they're running it around the school here. Strattera is like an SSRI or SSNRI something haha...I know, me professional. :) I think it has some type of antidepressant property to it, ehh - I dunno, someone else with more brains will come along, but it did make D very weepy (had to really cram through my notes to find out about that one, it's been a while). I, myself, take Xanex. Now - I can tell you that it's prescribed to me 3x per day OR AS NEEDED. I have some kinda blah blah Anxiety Disorder something or other....and if I take it 3x per day I'm zombified. It's a good oh-the-house-is-burning-down-that's-okay pill, seriously, for me (25 mg. and I'm about 175 lbs), and I have asked for it for D, but I'm always denied. I don't know how I feel about it for kids. Yes, addictive, I suppose, but I'm not. My theory really is if it works, it works, and that's that (after 37 medication trials here for D). I guess different things work for different kids with medications. You know, all you can do is try. I just made a post myself on Zoloft, because psychiatrist said he wanted to try it for anxiety, and I'm like, it's an antidepressant??!?!? But, I guess it does help with anxiety too. Who knew? I'm really sorry your psychiatrist is such, um, crud. I hope you get something else really, really soon. [/QUOTE]
