[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 292378, member: 6705"] Honestly? Here's my perception of medications, especially mood stabilizers. Kids don't learn when they are in the middle of a rage. In fact, when you are angry (and I mean really, [B]really [/B]angry), do you want to listen to someone telling you what to do - how to handle your anger? Most people wouldn't. And, given that we have been given the know-how to formulate this stuff, in small doses even, that helps... My point of view is, if it calms the child (adult) well enough so that they can [I]learn [/I]how to deal with their anger and other problems that might arise, then those skills are part of the person. Maybe they can stop taking the drug at some point because they've learned the skill. Perhaps it is different and they just need a little help over the "hump". That's why I'm on Lexapro right now. But that's just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
