Were you not listening? We had taken our son to 6 family doctors, 2 child psychiatrists, and a mental health hospital. All of them either gave him an Rx, changed the dosage or offered Adam a new one! Not one of them offered us any other options. I assumed by that point they certainly knew more about it than my husband and I as we are not doctors!  We were emotionally sick over all of the meds he was on and then they did not appear to be working. The doctors would just tell us to hang in there, give them time or change the Rx all together. This is why we finally wrote in, not to appear on the show, but to access some of Dr. Phil's resources. We knew that this was not right, however everywhere we turned we were given another Rx. Please understand, that I do appreciate your point of view, and respect it. But we did obtain a second opinion and a third and a fourth. . .
