I need to know if there are any parents out there who have been trying different medications for their children. I have an 8 year old who is now on ritilan (ADHD)and the doctor wants to add effexor to this. I am unsure. I have a 10 year old that was put on Paxil about 3 months ago for depression and I already have him off of it because of the side effects-and because of all that I had read about it. None of these meds indicate research in children which makes it so scarry to just do it however, the anger and outbursts that have been going on for so many years has been so exhausting for me I sometimes feel like I am the one with a problem and should be taking some kind of med.
I am reaching out to parents with children and their failures or success with their children on medication.
