Lua informed me that she is no longer taking stratera or her bc pills for cramping. She will be in tears this cycle though. Her mom is a nurse but just can't transfer any skills to her own life and so Lua has no structure for even taking medication regularily. Never has. I never liked stratera for her though. She has ADHD symptoms but the stratera made her spacier yet. She also has a TBI. 10 years ago in August, as a 4 year old, Lua fell out a second story window onto concrete and has some affects from the frontal lobe damage.
So now she is sober.
Fuzzy hasn't had anything effective unless we were interested in sedating him.
Buzzy has been off concerta and ADHD meds for a couple years now.
Happy's audiology evaluation indicated that she has some "neurological distractions" that we may consider using concerta for.
Liltoo just got off antibiotics after they didn't work for 4 days on an ear infection and the chiropractor sold me some ear drops (garlic oil, olive oil, and something else...) smells like a hotdish, but she has gotten better.
Lilme should be taking vitamin B2 for sleep improvements.
Lu took trazedone for years to sleep but weaned himself off that and is pretty much anti-med. I am a fan and feel like if there is med that may help why suffer.
There is no trophy for passing on pain killers...why do people want to tough something out if they dont have to? Medications and pharmaceutical progress has been made for a reason.
I know that docs are pill happy and there is no magic pill, but there are times when that is in the best interest and I am all about what works. Sometimes it is trial and error, and also with developing brains there are times when meds are needed more than others.
