that we are going to try one more medication. One more and if it doesn't work, Dylan's treatment will continue and finish unmedicated.
Luvox - 25 mg tabs.
Yeah, I read where they just keep saying on the website "You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old". They put that there, alot, more than once.
psychiatrist has two other Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)'ers on it, one is Tourettes, so he can't really compare him with Dyl, but the other is Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), little lower functioning, but doing well.
Although Dylan isn't Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), many of his thoughts and triggers are Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) like. I would almost consider him to be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) when it comes to alot of things, but I don't know that he actually fits all the criteria. I told psychiatrist I thought Dylan needed a chill out pill, haha....something that would make him think "it's all good", all the time, but they don't make a pill like that :thumbsdown:
I'm not excited about trialing this, but anxious to see how he does. Although what works for most kids does NOT work for my son, well....maybe this one will work.
I did mention Focalin. psychiatrist said nahhhh. I mentioned Propanolol too, and he said no way, Jose.
SRL, thanks for the tips on the other thread. I've bookmarked/noted everything. I'm going to check into those other things more.
