[QUOTE="totoro, post: 207662, member: 3155"] I do not mess with any of our medications without running it by our psychiatrist first. Or pediatrician. Our psychiatrist is pretty accessible by e-mail. K has been through the list of medications, I know how frustrating it is, and it still is for us. We are right now hanging on to the lowest minimal dosage of Seroquel possible that will get her through the day. This takes 2 of us. A great Special needs teacher, therapist once a week, a great pediatrician, great School Nurse, social skills class once a week, great psychiatrist, husband having to work out of the house... and after all of this she is still just doing OK. Fact of the matter is our kid has mental illness. As our psychiatrist puts it she is making great strides and doing pretty well, for a kid with Mental Illness. For us we choose to do more therapy based treatment at this point because we can and she is making strides. Some times it takes weeks for some of these medications to start to take affect. I know it is hard to be patient. K at times will have a reaction to a medication in the first couple of days and then it mellows out. We then need to tweak it and watch how it is working. Make sure you are keeping a journal. I am in the middle my own medication changes so I do know how it feels and how hard it is. Hang in there and talk to her Doctor, tell him your fears. [/QUOTE]
