[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 333463, member: 6546"] Thanks everyone! It makes me feel better to see that I am not the only parent who has thought of such a plan in light of a psychiatrist's attitude... Susie--You described exactly how I felt! Hope--You are so right. Withdrawal symptoms is a worry... Marg--You hit the nail on the head exactly! You and GCVMom both recommended speaking with the psychiatrist first before making a change... Janet--LOL! I envy you....and I don't! Isn't it terrible when we wish for our kids to be a PITA??? So... I "slept on it"...and as I woke this morning I realized that as much as I want the psychiatrist to see the "real" difficult child....and I do, regardless of smugness...I really don't want to LIVE with the "real" difficult child while we are going through the testing process over the next several weeks. While the medications are not a cure...they have certainly tempered some of the violence. Do I really want to bring that back, full-force just for this? Honestly, my answer is "NO!" and "Heck NO!". So, I called the psychiatrist and asked whether difficult child should be medicated or non-medicated for testing. She would like to start WITH medication...and go from there. So, it sounds as though I will have a chance to show her the "real" difficult child later if the child's issues are not apparant at the early sessions. So, I guess we will wait and see for now... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
