[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 292640, member: 1161"] Speaking only from our situation, my difficult child couldn't learn how to control his frustrations etc. while he was in the midst of his frustrations and anxieties. The Zoloft helped our difficult child be able to calm and see what he needed to do to get through. He was on for a couple years, then gradually took him off and he did fairly well for a couple years. Late winter/ early spring this year he went through a VERY scary bad patch (we're talking probably SAD as well for him) and he's back on the medications and it's helped him tremendously. I'm thinking we'll probably have him on them for the rest of high school, and then see where he wants to go with it. When off the medications going through the bad periods, his frame of mind and situation is such that he just can't see the right choices to make to deal with situations. As our difficult child's psychiatrist always says, going on a medication doesn't mean it's a forever thing. If it's helped to the point you may be able to now deal without, then you make a change.
