Age 4? Thats young man, I think even 16-18 is young to be on medication. Your brain isnt fully developed untill 24-25, and your screwing around with your neurotransmitters.

As for the pot. Its funny how that works, pot connects certain neurotransmitters in the brain to. But its not worth it coming from someone who did it for 7 years straight. To me alteast. What worked for me we'll was abilify, i got off bc of the sexual side effects and headaches. But it gave me energy and concentration.

Seraquel and depekot suck. I was on both and couldnt function either. Get a doctor who you trust, even if u have to pay out of pocket it'll be worth it. Always do your research and dont be afraid to ask questions.

Good Luck Ken
