One day at a time
Hello,
I am still playing phone tag with the Neruodc to schedule testing. Up until a few days ago I didn't think difficult child would be able to test because of DEX (d for dumb) not giving permission. Ex in laws put enough pressure on him that he gave his consent!
Now difficult child's psychiatrist wants to change difficult child's medications. She is on Celexa, it was up-ed to 30 mg from 20 with no change. The psychiatrist told me if there wasn't any change then he would switch her to Welbutrin to help with what we suspect is ADHD, the Welbutrin will help both. All this was discussed before we knew she would be testing.
My long winded question is - if she is on Welbutrin will that "mask" any issues she is having? For those of you that have had your difficult children tested did they do the tests without medications?
Welbutrin, I don't think, is something you start and stop like Adderall would be, it is still an antidepressant just with an added stimulant.
I don't want to have her psychiatrist switch her if it will give false information, then again I don't want her to fail school in the process!
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
As always thanks!
