to be clear he was clean for 3 months. I know he was totally clean because he would wake up at 9 pm and stay up all night. He would fall asleep the next morning around 8 am He never ever went out. I know he would be up all night cause I would get up every couple of hours and he would just be...

@Albatoss thanks for your response. He hasn't been violent at all but that's because he 's been clean. Now he's going back to smoking so I don't want to go through all that again. He was sleeping all day till 11 pm at night. would wake up at that time and stay up all night. I made sure to...

I haven't posted here in awhile. My son quit college twice. Is home does not work or go to school. He will be 19 next month He smoked pot everyday many times a day for at least 3 or 4 years. He was totally clean for the last 3 months. He was on Lexapro 15 mg during this time. I guess it wasn't...

My son was on 10 mg for a month. We just increased it to 15 mg. He's been on that for a week. I think it's helping him. He seems to be happier. Haven't seen any signs of depression. He does sleep a lot though but when he's awake he seems happy. He is still clean. Has not gone out with friends in...

This is so true with my son. All his friends had jobs and go to college, but my son was never able to do it all. He was actually the smartest by far also from all his friends. If he ever is able to get it together and focus there would be no stopping him. He is naturally very smart. He doesn't...

@RN0441 Hi, How is your son doing now? I read your bio but little confused. Is your son living at home? Yes our stories are very similar. I'm gonna give him some time as long as he agrees to take the medications and go to the doctors. At some point he's gonna have to do something or I'll have to end up...

Not now. He was but since he came back home he has not gone. I'm working on him to get him back...

Some of you might have been following my post about my son. I'll try to keep it short. Didn't make it last year in college after high school, came home and worked for awhile. Quit the job. Has been smoking weed for about 5 years. Quit smoking about a month an a half ago. Has been totally clean...

Hi, Doesn't sound like the medications are doing anything? People are on the wrong medications for years and then they get on the correct ones and things improve.

Wow that was some story. All the best to you. This isn't easy for sure. I'm at a loss. I only know what I'm dealing with. My son has mental illness. The whole think is so illogical. It's really so sad. I'm guessing that many of these kids have mental illness and then they turn to drugs. That's...

@ksm Hi, My son smoked weed for a long time... Saw a lot of the stuff they use to smoke weed throughout the years. Never saw tin foil like that

Like your name!! Haha

Yes I agree. Even though I wish my son didn't have to go on medications and take a chance with side effects he really needs to. The key is getting him to understand and agree to go along with the plan. He has been taking the Lexapro but he said he's only going to try it for a month. Gotta get him to...

My Tinnitus at this point is ok. I've become what we call "habituated" .. When I first got it I was a "basket case". Couldn't do anything. stayed home from work for 3 weeks. felt suicidal. cried constantly,shaking, feeling like my chest was caving, etc... I do live in fear that it will get...

thank you all for your responses. Very helpful

My son agreed to try the medications for a month or so to help him with his mental illness. He suffers from depression. I've had a few post here regarding his situation. He is currently taking 10 mg of Lexapro. My problem is that whatever medications he ends up being on could give him side effects which will...

Some people just get it right Some people learn the easy way (make some mistakes but learn from them) Some people learn the hard way (make a lot of mistakes, hit rock bottom, but eventually pull through) Some people never learn (destroy their lives and others lives) Some people with mental...

@agingrapidly Did you read my post "Don't know what to do with my son"?? Our son is in a very similar situation as yours. He'll be leaving for college this Tuesday after coming home last year after a month. Really worried about his return.

Yes he is a psychiatrist. He didn't say if he was planning to increase it or not. He just wants to see what happens with the 10mg. He is only 18 and like I said very thin. I think he has a fast metabolism. He didn't say anything about the DNA test. I forgot to ask about it. I will call today and...

W Hi, I spoke to his psychiatrist today and he used these exact words you said @SomewhereOutThere ! We're gonna move him to the 10 mg. I forgot to ask about that DNA test. I will do that .. Thank you Yes it took my wife 25 years to be diagnosed correctly and get on the correct medication. Now she is...
