[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 16100, member: 2063"] I understand wanting to make a change. Not only do the kids get misdiagnosed but us adults do as well. I was on quite a combo of medications last summer because the anxiety I have is due to PTSD not the bipolar they tried to make me out to be. Now I am not saying the medications don't work but if she can handle being off and that includes the withdrawal period. Paxil withdrawal for me was so awful. Now I just have ativan for extreme anxiety days. I don't know if she is capable of looking at it the same way as she is 16 but in my case I have the opportunity to take up to 3 a day. Haven't taken one in several months. It helped take the edge of in the beginning and now I don't take them hardly ever. Again I am no Doctor and I am an adult but seeing as how she is 16 she may or may not have the ability to rationalize it if she doesn't want/need the medications. Just another look for you.
