[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 342897, member: 7083"] I'm not worried about her selling medications. She follows the Straight Edge lifestyle, which is no tobacco, drugs, alcohol or promiscuous sex. She's very serious about it. One thing with my kids I've never had to worry about is drugs and alcohol. Thank goodness. Not that I wouldn't keep my eyes open, but you know what I mean. I'm just kind of flabbergasted that she would want another medication. This is the kid that was anti-medications. She's now on 4: birth control (for acne), trazadone, zoloft, and prevacid. All of the anxiety has created stomach problems. And now she'd want to add another? Like I said, she makes me tired sometimes. I'm not inclined to start a stimulant until we have a better picture with the anxiety under control. Even then, I'm not sure about stims and her. Then again, she's tired all of the time (depression, anyone?) so maybe it would be helpful. It just makes me nervous. Like I said, I'm not jumping on that bandwagon until I'm convinced. Linda, I wouldn't normally be upset if the therapist had gotten a FULL picture and if it wasn't a diagnosis that difficult child was actively seeking out. And she could have just said that it looks like ADD and difficult child took that to mean that it *is* ADD. You know how they manipulate things to fit their interests. Thanks for the input all. I had 2 hours of neuropsychologist testing today and my brain is tired. We have a meeting with the principal at 3pm about difficult child being harassed in school - well, in one particular class.
