I got a little fired up at first hearing they were lowering her anxiety meds, because I was under the impression he was referring to Zoloft too. Zoloft is nothing close to as needed. Pig clarified in the FB comments, and Moobie did as well…eventually. They are referring to the Hydroxyzine. Still speaks volumes that they can lower it when the birth beast is away…but you know, restaurants…she needs to feed.

Thanks! I really thought Asa was referring to her Zoloft but I was sitting here thinking "well, it doesn't matter if he stops it now, it has lasting effects for a few days to even weeks, depending on her dosage.." Hydroxyzine is the devil when it comes to medications. My oldest had it for a while and it literally made her about go crazy and when they increased it, she just went to sleep. She couldn't tolerate it at all... I swear though, if they are giving it right before going into a building, it was doing nothing for her because it does take a while to work.
Personally, I don't think it is appropriate to drug anyone, just so they can go into public. I think other interventions need to be worked through but the last thing that you ever use, is medication. This is where I really dislike Asa's protocol on needing medication. For years, they did without it, when Abbie really needed medication to focus, lessen impulse control, etc. Now, she still struggles with those but as long as she can go into a building, it is all okay but when it doesn't, welp, got to drug her into oblivion... SMH!
