[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 62741, member: 805"] Janna, great article. It really did touch on the issues many of us deal with daily. I know when difficult child's psychiatrist suggested the seroquel, he explained he was perscribing is off lable, he also mentioned the side effects and the need for blood work, but also assured me that he was rxing such a low dose (25 mg) that the anticipated benefit should outweigh the "could be" side effects. But he did make it clear it was my call. I know not all psychiatrists rx that way and the fact that we (upon his suggestion) have finished trialing difficult child off the remeron and are at the end of our trialing down of the seroquel (should be totally off by next monday) makes me optimistic. But at the same time, it scares me to death..... That's what we deal with everyday. That's why this medication thing is so hard. I wanted difficult child off the ad and the ap (and would love him off the stimulant but that's not going to happen any time soon) but I'm afraid we'll end up back where we were in 2nd grade and that scares the bejeezes out of me. Complicated........ Sharon [/QUOTE]
