Medications are a hard call for a parent the first time it is suggested.
If she is having trouble both socially and with learning, you have to try all the behavior modifications and the exploration of causes. No one wants to try medication until it's the only way.
My son didn't have much of a life or chance to get one without the medications. I worry daily of the long term effects but it was the only chance he had.
My son has been on strattera since the first day it was on the market. It takes a while to get an adequate level. He had some nausea and vomiting with it. He was however on mood stabilizers before he was on strattera.
Keep getting opinions and research.
PS:have you completed the Parent Survey? Thank you if you have.
