[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 716204, member: 1550"] I cant advise, Pisces. I dont know. Just be aware if you decide to try that evrn low doses CAN cause serious side effects and that automatic movements, if they happen, can become permanant. I have tried many yukko medications myself and many made me feel worse. Lithium dragged me so far down that I barely could function and it made me suicidal. And thats Lithium. I loathe mood stsbilizers. Literally they space me out and flatten my emotions. I probably dont need them...I do not have bipolar 1. But if I had to take them, I dont know if I would anyway. These medications arr not pleasant. Adults know when they feel badly and can choose to discontinue medications and talk about options to psychiatrists. But children dont have that power. I think we put our kids on incredibly high level medications too often. Other countries do not do this, I believe. Many people who quit taking their medications feel worse on them. I have been there. Many are not being defiant...they cant stand how medications make them feel. For my own self, with my experiences with myself and Sonic, I would not medicate an autistic child unless the child was hurting himself and others. I prefer autism interventions. Occupational Therspy, Physical Therspy, academic supervision and social skills classes helped my son. medications made him go backwards. Remember, I am no expert. I am just a mom. [/QUOTE]
