My oldest daughter is 20. Two months ago police found evidence that she had taken mail from a neigbors mail box and tore up a check. The USPS decided not to prosecute...but the local police are--but haven't issued a warrant for her arrest YET. She is hanging around with a girl who had a history...

difficult child 2's mom took difficult child 2 to the psychiatrist today to *try* to get him on a mood stabilizer. He is currently taking 5mg Zyprexa and Welbutrin (don't remember the dosage). This is a different psychiatrist than he's seen, but at the same facility. The last psychiatrist (in the same facility) put him on Welbutrin because...

So, the visit with difficult child wasn't pleasant. She spent the first hour and a half of a two hour visit crying saying she "can't be here", that it is "prison", that she "doesn't need to be here", that "they aren't doing anything", that "no one is helping me or doing anything", that she "can't sleep...

I'm going to make an appointment for difficult child for something to help her sleep. She's had trouble sleeping for years. Melatonin doesn't work, nor does benadryl. What do your kids take at night to help with sleep?

hey me again! :) alot of lost venting to make up for so, anyone out there have a manic anxiety ridden kid like mine who pulls all nighters each night or just goes to bed at 3 and 4 a.m. each night? how do you cope? i'm just wondering because we're out of ideas. i try to put her down, yet...

Our 7 yr old daughter has anxiety, some depression and some anger issues. However she is undiagnosed. We are unfortunately one of many families who don't have health ins and make just a lil too much for medicaid. So I have done most research myself with hopes of her seeing a psy. dr soon...

Tigger has been increasingly unstable for about two months now. His Depakote levels have been dropping. He has become moody and aggressive. And very, very sad. I was able to get an emergency appointment with the psychiatrist (thank goodness for cancellations). He upped the Depakote again and added...

Ok, probably not the most constructive statement in all the world, but I'm so flippin' tired of "understanding". Just a quick layout: 1. difficult child 1 is making me crazy. No matter what's going on, you NEVER know what's going to set him off. We were a therapy last evening, I walk out of the...

Hi everyone! I know I haven't posted in a while but will be posting some today. psychiatrist rx'd ativan for difficult child yesterday to use PRN and he said not to use it often. Has anyone had any experience with this that I should be aware of (adverse reactions, side effects, interactions, etc)? What about when...

Wee difficult child has never slept on a "schedule". Ever. As a tiny baby, he ate and slept on his terms, despite our best efforts to normalize it. The university research team that is working with us is formalizing his bedtime and morning routines to "help with his sleep patterns". We have charts on...

First let me say that I am so sorry to those of you who have been so supportive and concerened for me and my family, for disappearing for so long. I don't really have a reason other than I couldn't bear to talk about what has been happening. Thank you so very much for all of your thoughts and...

Last 2 weeks difficult child has been actually doing well. (Which is partly why I haven't been on here that much, sorry.) Had an appointment with therapist yesterday and it was a good session. It was about us praising her on her good work and about helping her get through her anxiety with starting middle school...

...when either one of my kids decide they want to talk. Not chit chat. Angst stuff. difficult child started tonight. It was, of course, right after I had taken my lunesta. I tried to tell her that I really couldn't think too clearly, but she was deep in the throes of angst. I even had her come into...

hi to everyone so i got the results of my little one's evaulation at hospital. weird is all i can say i think. i'm still digesting. she said that she has Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) generalized anxiety disorder which i pretty much knew forever. then she said taht she is clinically and severely depressed? i...

We have decided to wean difficult child off 90%of his medications, give him a break then re introduce a new medication after we see what his symptoms are. He started Depakote for BiPolar with Seroquel, he only takes the Seroquel "as needed" it makes him very sleepy. Then they added Effexor for depression and anxiety...

Hello folks.. Well I am up too early once again, this not sleeping is really getting to me... Dr. Has me on Ambian but it is worthless to me.. I have no problem falling asleep now around 9 to 9.30 PM I am falling asleep in my recliner, I get up and get in bed.. and fall asleep fine.. but as...

just a quick question...my 12 year old has always had problems sleeping. and i mean like he does not sleep much at all. last night he was up to almost three thirty in the morning and that was him laying in a dark room with no tv or nothing. sometimes he will leave the tv on for the noise or the...

I finally got in touch with my daughter's therapist a school, after several messages and the good ole redial button. Maybe some of you remember my post titled "I'm so mad I could spit", regarding my daugher's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) changing her medications without my knowledge nor permission. My daugher wasn't entirely...

Well, difficult child and I, husband and I have been at each others throats for a long time. Everyday I tell myself I will not yell at difficult child. Everyday I do. I just blow up. Say things I shouldn't. So..Went to psychiatrist on Friday. He prescribed Zoloff and xanax. I take Ambien also quite often due to my work...
