[QUOTE="Christy, post: 155227, member: 225"] A thorough (ie, long) evaluation completed by a psychatrist or possibly a neuropsychologist evaluation completed by a neurologist (can find info at local children's hospital) can determine what conditions you daughter may be suffering from and if she would benefit from medication. Medications affect individuals differently so it is impossible to say which will work for your daughter and which may cause adverse behaviors or side effects. Your doctor's advice and gathering as much information about the medication as possible on your own will help you monitor for possible side effects from a medication. Here is a site that offers a pretty good overview of the types of medication given to children for psychiatric disorders and the possible side effects.
