[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 593235, member: 11847"] Sweetie, it is ok to "feel" the way you do. Feelings are never wrong. on the other hand, that's why we have a brain. I'm not implying anything negative, so just bare with me for a second. The logic of our brain counter balances our emotional being. When you asked the doctor for a prescription, you were being rational and logic. Now that it is time to do it, your emotions are taking over. I feel you have been going back and forth for a very long time now. No one knows for sure how J will/would react to medications. And the only way to know if it would be a good solution for him is by trying. Only you can make the decision, but my advice: make a decision that is well balanced between heart and brain. medications have been suggested to V numerous times. I felt it was not time yet and wanted to try other ways (therapies). Now, I'm glad we took this route because thanks to accomodations, understanding and therapies, nobody would suggest medications anymore. I was warned that as he grew up, the anxiety might come back and medications would be discussed again (typical for spectrum kiddos to suffer from anxiety that can be crippeling). Right now, you seem to think that J's behavior is still symptomatic, not in accordance with what is considered "ok" by society. Is there other routes you would like to explore that have not been explored yet? If the answer is no, maybe give the medications a try. That would be my logic. Good luck in your decision making.
