You are so correct about the cost of meds.....My husband has great health insurance through the post office...it pays for our medication after we fullfill the deductible....but until Prozac finally got a generic counterpart, even with the insurance, the cost of Prozac was sky high....now, with the generic Prozac, the cost is way down, and at least for me, the generic Prozac works just as well...

You sound as if you have your hands and your life, very, very full, trying to give that extra special attention to both of your children....they are lucky children to have a mom such as you, ,who makes every effort to make sure that they are loved and well taken care of...

Shame on those other children for starting and spreading such nasty rumors about your daughter...unfortunately, we all know that kids, and teens, can be so very cruel, and the teens are old enough to know better...I know its so hurtful to you, as well as it is to your daughter...

Thanks for the welcome, and I am sure to lurk, and chime in from time to time....

I am so impressed with the parents here, who have to work extra hard to provide a stable life for their children...at the very least, I can see that it is hard, and often heartbreaking....

You're a mom, you know....you do what you have to do. My kids are not angels, but they are and always will be my little girls.

I'm on a *mission* right now...to pull up some info on some alternative treatments to see what's out there for those that want to try. Sometimes it works. I just added fish oil capsules to my daughter's diet and I"m going to add st. john's wart...at the very least it can't hurt...and she's all for it, she said "mom, if I can take the vitamins & minerals and reduce or eliminate my meds and still feel good, that's awesome. Smart kid!!!
