[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 372823, member: 3419"] Confuzzled, I would move on, but not until I had an appointment with-another psychiatrist, you met him/her in person and really liked them. I also think you should do 1-on-1 therapy. Forget the group stuff. If your child is depressed, regardless whether it's the right medication or not, she's got to learn to express herself. We spent several sessions together b4 our difficult child really opened up, and even now, it's hit-or-miss. Sometimes difficult child wants to just sit there, but the dr will say, "Talk to me. You're not going to waste my time and I'm not going to waste yours like this. Do you want your parents to leave the room?" Sometimes we leave, sometimes we stay. Over the yrs, difficult child has learned to talk. It has been a long, long road. Once you have a good talk therapist on board, that person can go to bat for you, along with-the pediatrician, for a medication change. It will add weight to your opinion, which at this point seems to be nonexistent with-the psychiatrist(s). Very frustrating, indeed. [/QUOTE]
