[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 179230, member: 3444"] Well we did it last summer with difficult child 2 because I felt like we were just throwing drugs at his symptoms hoping they'd stick, and they only seemed to add their own new symptoms and making things worse. So psychiatrist agreed and we did a 2 week wash (which probably wasn't long enough, but because the mood stabilizer's we were adding needed so much time to ramp up, and he was so hyperactive and out of control, we couldn't wait much longer if we wanted him to be able to start school in September) -- took him off everything. Now's probably the best time if she's still got a month before school starts. I don't recommend doing it during the school year, though. Unless she's so bad she needs to be hospitalized anyway... Good luck to you -- it's hard decision, but I think it's something to consider if you just don't seem to be getting anywhere with the current medications. [/QUOTE]
