[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 448126"] I welcomed you over on General Parenting but now I will respond to this post. Who is prescribing these medications for your little one? You say there is no diagnosis yet they are prescribing medications that are typically for specific diagnoses. Adderall and Focalin are typically used to treat ADD/ADHD. Clonidine is usually used to treat ADHD and anxiety/panic disorder. Buspar is usually used as an antidepressant or anti-anxiety. It seems strange that a doctor would prescribe these medications without a diagnosis especially for a 3 year old. If you haven't taken your child to a child psychiatrist, I would definitely do that. What kinds of behaviors does your child display? What kinds of situations lead to these behaviors? Let us know more about your child so we can support you better. Again, welcome to the family. You have come to a great place. The parents here have a wealth of knowledge and experience. You will learn a lot and can find lots of help and acceptance. [/QUOTE]
