HAs anyone here had success with adding an anti-depressant to a mood stabilizer (the issue is cycling- not seizures)? Is it very common? TIA

I know the psychiatrist or Pharmacy is our best bet, but I think this site seems to be pretty good. I have a book that I look through and then double check with this site. It is pretty cool because you can punch in your vitamins and medications etc... When I was starting my Lamictal I was on Topamax as well...

for getting difficult child back on schedule? He stays up later and later and sleeps later and later and doesn't care, much less make any effort to change it. If you recall, he only went to school about one day a week the last few weeks before holiday break. It appears to me that not only is this...

How much rozerum is normal for a child? I can't find a weight chart for it. Are there other types of sleep aides for kids besides rozerum and seroquel? Rozerum seems to work most of the time on my oldest difficult child, but my middle difficult child who usually falls asleep quickly is awake all night now and my...

I don't want to lose track of you because I think you can help me in these next few years with difficult child. What you said about when you stopped trying to change her she changed herself made so much sense. I have to work on that. I've been trying to do that but I have to really concentrate on it now...

Arrrgggghhhhhhh............ I am a mess. difficult child is manic - he missed his medications twice this week at his dads - consquently........... He is grandiose~ Creating a zillion projects, issues, and dramatic events. Talking non stop....will he ever quit? Aggressive and argumentative one second~ Flying...

She is such a fricken mess. I know things are not good when husband and I are fighting. K has been delusional for around 2 weeks now. I can't even keep it straight. But the past 2 days she has been gone. Completely living in fantasy land, husband is walking around with the look, you know. K is...

I have son who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2004 at the age of 7 years old by a clinical psychologist that specializes in ADHD/ADD. And the world wind was just getting started. After the diagnosis, I took my son to his peditrician and he was placed on medication to control his ADHD symptoms, and...

Bradon is 6--we have been on this road since 2.5. 6 hospital visits since May of last year(maybe May is not our month?) and well...after 3 weeks of stability...we are on a BIG downward spiral! In fact, today is the first day I have seriously thought about Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I just dont think I can do this...

my 16 yr old difficult child 2 has been having a tough time with sleeplessness (hard to fall asleep and stay asleep) for some weeks now, coinciding with starting Abilify and going off Effexor. She seems to be tolerating the Abilify now that she has reached a dose of 10 mg., but she can't fall asleep and she...

He will choose to not eat for days, and literally starve himself. He has had a feeding tube until this last August and we are praying to keep it out. difficult child is...

My difficult child has taken Paxil since he was 10 years old. P. doctor #1 prescribed it for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and depression. He also took Clonidine. We tried to take him off of all medications. almost two years ago. But his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) returned and his mood was awful. He ended back on Paxil, eventually at an even higher dose but not...

I am new here today, i have a very difficult child age 12, however its been about 5 years of a gradual upswing of hard to deal with defiance issue, i know it started when she was little with little things, like panic to cross the street if it wasnt the way she wanted to go and bursts of defiance...

I do not like difficult child's psychiatrist. Never listens. Talks real quick and gives him a new drug and shoots him out the door. All within 10 minutes. After therapist said Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and ADHD and we discussed this and decided to treat the anxiety first, I called Friday to make an appointment. Today was the...

Hi everybody. Haven't posted in many months but I have a specific situation I'm concerned about, namely, my oldest, difficult child 2, is with a new psychiatrist who has a prettty good reputation among other docs and other professionals I've met through my divorce. She wanted badly to go off all her medications...

I’m sure there is a whole chapter in ’Successful Parenting for Dummies’ about how you are not supposed to be almost giddy from relief and pride when your nineteen year old, living on his own, supporting himself, intellectually gifted son is able to handle a doctor appointment appropriately all...

I know this isn't about difficult child but my life, and I just needed to talk. Most of my posts do speak of the relationship of my husband and myself, our difficult child was his step son and we have 2 children together and I have another son with my ex husband the same as my difficult child. difficult child is living with his dad Well my husband...

hi i hope everyone had a good, calm day today :) I have a question, I will be calling doctor tomorrow yet wanted some feedback It's only the 2nd day difficult child's been on 12.5mg seroquel. She tends to react to medication's rather quickly so I wasn't surprised to see a change immediately in her...
