I get them myself, but my fabulous wonderful sainted neurologist is only for adults. She has made such a huge difference in my life, though.

I was so angry at being forced to see a psychiatrist when it was so obviously the world who had a problem, not me. I spent the year trying to think of ways not to tell him anything of importance. He had me on Thorazine.

Thanks again for your warm welcome. When I got with the neurologist, he tried more obvious treatments for my migraines, which worked wonders. I'm on Midrin, and have been since I was with him. I hope your friends are able to help their daughter. Migraines are awful, aren't they?
Thorazine, huh? Nasty stuff! I was on Elavil and Mellaril, and it made me a zombie. The neurologist was SO pissed off when he found out what the shrink had put me on. I was like you, I had no interest in being there, was angry, and avoided conversations with him. He used to play solitaire during my appts. or he would come and sit right next to me and try to get me to cry.
Weird!As you might have read, everyone in our family has been diagnosed with ADHD, even the toddler, so we are constantly working on something. I currently only have a p-doc, but hope to start therapy again in the fall. I need to figure out why exactly I want to go back though. I'm not quite sure. Anyway, over the summer we'll have my oldest daughter, and oldest son in therapy. All of it gets expensive. Between drs. appts. and meds. we'll be at about $600 a month! Yikes!
