Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 , I'm in the same place. I really think Mikey would benefit worlds from an anti-anxiety type med but I absolutely hate the idea of medicating my 2 year old. And I don't know that anyone will. Everyone tells me he's too young...but what are we supposed to do in the meantime? I guess all we can do is talk to drs, try things out, and see what happens. If a med does wonders - hooray! (And I have heard some amazing stories, like whoever's kid on this list it was who started to talk when he started a med.) If it doesn't, you can always stop giving it to him. -Sara. wife to Matt SAHM to nurslings Mikey, 9/14/99, Autism, and Gabe, born at home 5/17/01, GERD http://home.earthlink.net/~thebyks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 , All kids react differently to meds. The goal is to get one to improve the behaviors and help the child without removing the natural personality. One we tried on left him more angry and tearful and quiet. is generally a very happy go lucky outgoing, major league hyper kid. I told the Dr. to tell me how to wean him off it because it was destroying his personality. If a med you try changes him in a negative manner for more than a few days (the adjustment period), then tell the Dr.. You just try something until it's right for him. Wishing you good luck!'

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Pam, I'm still waiting on appointments. He sees his regular pediatrician often but would he be the one to prescribe? Who?? His ped. can't seem to get him in anywhere...everywhere is booked for months and months. Poor Trevy needs help with his temper...his moods. He can be so uncontrollable..hurt his older brother and sister..run into the door and fall on the floor and hurt himself. Tonight he has started something new...he has started picking the paint off the walls. I live in an apartment complex..it's not acceptable. What to do? What to do?? I'm SO tired of waiting on these darn appointments. How long did it take to get your children in to see the doctors??

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 I think depending on your pediatrician's experiences with young children and medications...it is possible he could prescribe something. Perhaps he could consult on the phone with a child psychiatrist and get some feedback about what would work best for your son's symptoms. I did wait awhile initially when I made medication evaluation appointments and I know how hard that waiting is.
