Thanks Ilene,
There does not seem to be much understanding with adolescent psychiatric conditions, even amongst my friends and family. My ex-husband took over 2 years to admit my daughter needed counseling and meds...everyone seems to think I just want a child who is perfect and behaves perfectly. They really mean well, but a couple of friends just talked to me for 2 hours today about the meds being the reason my daughter behaves the way she does...I wish! From all I have read in the responses to my post, a reevaluation of my daughter's medications seems in order. I was ready to throw in the towel on any medication just to prove my point to others, however I am unwilling to jeopardize her health to prove a point. I am weaning her off the Effexor...she is bound to have problems, but I am hoping my support for her will help. Thanks for writing...I appreciate the support of everyone. This is such a difficult situation to deal with...
Cheryl
