I stopped the drug and he got better then the doctor wanted to put him back on it! By now you will have talked to the psy and it will be interesting to hear what he says. We have been told by neurologist's that the only way to tell if a drug is having a adverse reaction is to stop it, if the problem is still there then the drug can be introduced again if needed. Most drugs if taken for any period of time have to be eased off though not just stopped. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
