[QUOTE="ML, post: 107903"] Sara, I'm sorry that you had to go through misdiagnosis with your son. Sadly it seems to be pretty common. I still don't have a diagnosis with my son that fits completely. I used to call his diagnosis aspolaradd. It must have hurt terribly to see your child suffer and to find out later that it was the supposed cure that did the most damage. I'm glad to read on your profile that he is doing much better. Anyway, I appreciate that your intentions are good and that you just want to help others avoid what you went through. It took me a long time to become willing to try medication. It came to the point where I realized that not medicating was causing bad side effects like a diminished quality of life because of difficult child's crippling anxiety. I do have days where I question my decision to medicate. But then again all those years of not medicating, I questioned them too [img]:smile:[/img] Someone once told me a long time ago to just make sure that the ultimate motive to medicate was for his own good and not mine LOL. I know most of us here fall into that category. Thanks for your perspective Hugs, MicheleL [/QUOTE]
