[QUOTE="3babygirls, post: 46696, member: 3759"] The psychologist we saw yesterday immediately said "we can try medications" but some kids don't respond with them in a way that it corrects their behaviors. I said I prefer not to put her on medications she's only 7 and I've seen some kids on medications that seem to be like zombies. But on the other hand if I knew the medications would make a huge difference at least to the point we can continue with behavioral counseling to correct some of her patterns then I think I might change my mind. If we tried medications and I didn't like the results or didn't see a difference can we just stop them? Also, if we started on medications does it mean she'd always have to be on them the rest of her life? I'm very torn with this option. [/QUOTE]
