please please dont anyone bash me for this.. 5 days ago we went ahead and started Rylee on the zoloft. After sitting down with family everyone urged us to at least try. They all have Rylee's best interest in mind, and it pains them to see her struggle so much, so i think they are hoping this drug works. Either way im still on the fence about it, but we are giving it a try for 6 weeks, i siad if after that things dont change, or things get odd we will stop! with that said I had lots of thoughts swirling in my head last night about how even without the anxiety , Rylee is still very different from her peers and i cant graps why no dr. is ready to truely give her an asd diagnoses, i emailed the ped. , . Ill except constructive critisim, but please dont write me if your going to bash me for starting the meds!


Here is what the dr. had to say to me, i just want to make sure shes not trying to avoid my concerns and really is on the same pg, just working it out in her own way..


(Oh, I don't disagree at all with you ... anxiety is not the primary problem, but it is something that makes it much harder to sort things out. If you have seen no difference in 6 days, I would recommend increasing the dose to 2 ML instead of 1. Too low a dose may be ineffective and by the 6-7 day mark, most will see some positive difference unless it is too low.
