Comments on: Drug Your Way To A More Perfect You! http://xdadxdad.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/drug-your-way-to-a-more-perfect-you/ A dad and his son with Fragile X Syndrome Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:30:08 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Sueblimely http://xdadxdad.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/drug-your-way-to-a-more-perfect-you/#comment-241 Sueblimely Mon, 13 Oct 2008 23:26:38 +0000 http://xdadxdad.wordpress.com/?p=212#comment-241 I resisted medication for my son until his anxiety started to make him unhappy at age 18. We were lucky not to have had any major behavioural problems with him or I would have considered it earlier. I do not look at it as being a matter of changing his personality, I like him just the way he is, but as a way of making life easier and less stressful for him.

Meemer? As for Sonny's current line-up of meds, I talk about them in some detail <a href="http://xdadxdad.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/the-meds/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a>here</a>. Risperdal curbed Sonny's more aggressive tendencies, so maybe look into that one. I’m not much of a meme-er. Meemer?

We're just now on the drug road, and I hate it already. I prayed and prayed that Ian would supernaturally not have to be one on meds. But God hasn't chosen to heal Ian of any of his symptoms as of now. Ya know, we all ALWAYS have the right answers (ie. it's too easy to just say, "drug") until we're going through it. It's then I want to kick myself. So, we're on the road. Any suggestions? We've tried Strattera....hubby wasn't impressed (whole different story). I'm not sure what Sonny's symptoms are, but we have mucho, mucho, mucho hyperactivity, some aggression, and lots of impulsivity (mainly to hit sis or pull her hair). I’m soooo understanding you!
