Sarah ~ Thanx so much for your post. We have so far been lucky and have gotten him off the medication. We took him to another doctor and got a second opinion then my husband went to the prescribing doctor and had a meeting with her. She took him off the medication but suggested we take him to the psychologist. The psychologist is pro medication but so far he has not been able to justify putting him back on the meds. In fact, with the new school year, we got soooo lucky and my step son has the most wonderful teacher. It has made a world of difference. He doesn't have any problems in the classroom. The teacher he had last year just wanted all the kids to act perfectly and I think she would have loved it if all the kids in the room were sedated. We also worked with my step son over the summer when we had him and we watched him mature quite a bit. Had he been on the medication I don't think he'd have progressed. I'm glad that the court is on your side and I almost hope that the mother does lose custody just so he can be in a more positive environment. We are in El Dorado County and we live about 20 mins from the mother. I wish you the best and keep me up to date on how things turn out!!
