[[category:Josh]]
Josh has never been on medication for any extended length of time. Certain parties have suggested that medications are necessary in order to keep him manageable; our experience has been that the best way to do this is to keep him engaged with novel experiences.

Here are various medications that have been tried on him:
* 2010:
** [[wikipedia:Benadryl|Benadryl]] ([[wikipedia:Diphenhydramine|Diphenhydramine]]) as a sleeping aid, requested by therapeutic foster home. No apparent effects.
** [[wikipedia:Melatonin|Melatonin]] as a sleeping aid, requested by therapeutic foster home. No apparent effects.
** [[wikipedia:Prozac|Prozac]] ([[wikipedia:Fluoxetine|Fluoxetine]]) at a very low dose, to see if it would help reduce his anxiety. It seemed to make it worse, and caused crying jags.
* 2011:
** June 6: [[htyp:RHA Howell|RHA Howell]] is considering whether to recommend [[wikipedia:Risperidone|Risperidone]], 5.5mg daily (minimal dose), as a way of reducing problematic behaviors (e.g. hitting chest, banging head into walls). We're concerned that it might exacerbate Josh's existing [[wikipedia:akathisia|akathisia]] and insomnia, or possibly "zombify" him.
