Re: Need advice on medicated 3 year old
|
Well...they're medicating her with speed....so treat her accordingly.
Have you ever had 2 pots of coffee right before bed? Ever taken "No Doze" on a long road trip? Ever taken Contact for your sinus pain and then added a Mt. Dew?
I'm telling you....even when you *try* to sleep, you sleep for crap. The result is that you feel strung out, tired all the time, irritable...you end up with diarrhea, feeling nauseous, etc. Now....imagine that you are a three year old who doesn't have the vocabulary to relate all of those things. You would feel angry, out of control, rageful.....
She may be on the wrong meds, meds at the wrong time of day, the wrong dosage.....
Have you considered having her evaluated on your own? Three is very, very young. Is there any history of abuse?
