My daughter takes a medication and she is monitored monthly to make sure the level of medication in her blood strem is at a certain level. If it goes below level they raise the medication if it goes above level they lower the medication. SO far she is the best she has ever been and can have some sort of "normalcy" to her childhood.
Like I said before unless you have a child who has been through what my daughter has been through you may not understand. What a lot of people seem to forget is that these doctors just don't put these kids on medication. At least my doctor didn't. It was months and months of treating her before we started using medications. It was only then that she started to stabilize.
I understand people who do not believe in the use of meds for children, but there are also those out there that have tried EVERYTHING and nothing helped but these medications. I am one of those parents/ I think it is a shame that people have to continually bash people for trying to help their kids. Do you think I want my daughter to live like this? Just because she is on medications doesn't mean I am wrong or a bad parent. You would do whatever it takes to help your children. THats all I am doing.
