[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 30832, member: 831"] For me it's a "quality of life" issue. Which is really just another way of saying "ability to function". Now, I have to be forthright and admit that I was one of those anti-medication people once a upon a time. Of course, that was before I encountered GFGdom in all it's glory. The last straw being Daughter threatening to stab me for asking her to do a simple task (practice her clarinet). The quality of my children's lives have been much improved by medication. Granted, it took some trial and error. And, that trial and error is ongoing. I'm always open to trying something new, or tackling something from a different angle, if I think it benefit the lives of my difficult children. Yes, I believe that media can focus on a narrow aspect and blow it out of porporation. Like the "fill in the blank" causes cancer, or is "more likely" to cause cancer. But, once there is further investigation you find out it's only a .001 percent chance more! The one thing I do try to avoid is giving medications to counteract side affects of other medications. However, if the first medication is making a significant difference positively, I certainly would consider continuing with it. It's walking a tightrope everyday. [/QUOTE]
