[tri-med] Re: Emily . . . meds

What great timing!  I am in search of a med that will help Soleah.  We
started her on Resperdal two weeks ago with little or no measurable results.
I think the dr will let us try the Aderol next.  Soleah did experience some
of those "drunk" moments during the first few days on the meds but once they
got in her system I haven't seen anything.  I got lots of good responses to
my quest for meds.  What are the symptoms you are trying to medicate?  I was
told the Ritalin was too temporary for what we needed since Ritalin is only
good for a few hours.

Nanci,
