[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 285569, member: 4040"] I think there is a potential for medications to be overprescribed, particularly if the doctor doesn't want to/know how to dig deeper into the root of the problem. Docs don't like to admit they don't know, and we all know they don't always want to hear from an educated parent, either! My previous doctor was one who liked prescribing things; the NP I see now says her job is to keep me healthy, and she monitors my blood sugar, thyroid, etc. about every three months, and hops on it when something is out of line. I think too that many parents come in with the diagnosis of the day, and request medications since they saw the commercial on TV and decided their child has...and the doctor gives in, without any further testing.
