Got my baby back
We have given up on the medication for now.

There were some good things about the medicine.
She did more of her schoolwork.
She could concentrate longer.
She was possibly better related.
The teachers were happier, or at least surprised.

The side effects were unpleasant, though.
She ate less and was pickier about what she ate.
She got more angry more easily.
She cried herself to sleep each night.
She was more obsessive about things that bothered her.

So, the meds have worn off and she's back to the way she was before.
Distracted.
Flighty.
A joy. |

I had a hard lesson on side effects of medicine and do believe that had I not stopped taking the statins I probably would be totaly disabled by now.NJR

I hope you save this, like a poem you can show her when she's grown up -- very sweet :-)

flighty and joyful is ALWAYS better then crying yourself to sleep...with or without meds
