Alright. Here it is, in black and white. His diagnosis's are the following: Aspergers Syndrom, ADD inattentive type, mood disorder not otherwise specified, PTSD, ODD, and Anxiety. He had come out of a 5 week hospitalization where they weaned him off Seroquel onto Risperdahl. While her was in the psychiatric hospital, he went from a mens...

The guidance counselor went to get her, and I knew what would happen. She immediately went on the defensive. She started picking at her hands and I could see how fast her heart was beating. G.C. told her he called the meeting because he is concerned about her grades. She sat there and lied...

And she was up and ready on time. But, before anyone gets excited and cheer, the weekend was $h!t to say the least. I am so tired of crying over this child of mine. Friday night she stayed up all night from what I could tell. I think she finally went to sleep around 5am. She had riding...

Ok, Q is not huge, but he is now 5 feet and weighed 107 at the doctor today (had to go he said his heart hurt, I think it is heartburn but not sure so had to check). He is averaging 1.5 to 2 lbs per week. I have to get his height from d/c at hospital and the last two doctor appts to see if...

My difficult child (8 yr M, ADHD/ODD) has never had to have blood drawn. Our new psychiatrist ordered a blood panel. Does anyone have any advice for making this as easy as possible? I am pretty sure my difficult child will freak out, say he's not doing it, refuse, etc. I can just envision him hitting someone or knocking...

hi went to doctor today with-difficult child. he basically leaves it up to me what to put her on, it's beyond ridiculous. i have to sit there and make an uneducated guess as to what medication to put her on with-o any info on the medication. he rushes me out the door. it's so hard. so i said we've tried ap's, ssri's...

Has anyone seen their difficult child become more anxious, aggitated and aggression on Seroquel? psychiatrist raised Tigger's Seroquel from 25mg to 50mg when we told him that Tigger was very anxious at school. The anxiety kept increasing so he added Ativan the next month. I use medication trays to keep us oganized...

Yesterday difficult child missed his first class at school. Today he's refusing to go to school. He isn't worried a bit about being in trouble at school or legally. I feel like calling that PO and telling her that I need her backing not her interruption of my authority. Somehow she will turn this into being...

So first they called and said difficult child wanted to talk to me. He talked for 25 minutes, in fact, the phone disconnected and he called back. He was wondering about a pass to go the mall next door to hospital because he took a flyer from the restaurant we went to that said they had a bouncy house, face...

difficult child 2 has started having major melt downs after months without any. He's almost constantly anxious, defiant and at times getting physical. We've had to threaten to call the police several times in the past 2 weeks to get him to back off and take himself outside to cool down. Saturday he got in...

The tweedles haven't seen each other at Christmas time since Dec. of 2008 when husband was in the hospital. Nerves were on edge, PRN medications were given & staff was on hand this afternoon when we gathered at foster mum's house to exchange Christmas gifts. wm was a tad excited but not over the top. kt...

Carlos has been mostly stable for two years from Seroquel, but yesterday he lost it. It's my fault. Seroquel was helping, but he was unable to feel guilt apparently when he took it. We started weaning him down and trying some natural treatments (which of course did NOT help) and as he got to...

I feel like, in one situation, I fit this description...when dealing with the school district that has hidden emotional abuse of my child and keeps driving me to extremes as far as trying to protect him. What do you know about Borderline (BPD) and can a person be part-time? Ha ha -<cry>

My name is Lael,I am the frustrated mother of one 14 year old boy and one 9 year old girl. My daughter has ADHD and today's bad day led me to find all of you! Nothing unusual(to us,anyways) happened,I'm just having a hard time being patient with my very high maitnance kid and needed other adults...

I posted last week as a complete newbie, and was so grateful for your responses. This week has continued the downward spiral, and we’re now looking at a day treatment program for anxiety/school refusal, with a potential opening by week’s end. I’m wondering how many of you have been down this...

Hi all, I'm new here and grateful for your support, insight, and help. Our middle son has struggled, intermittently, throughout life. He actually performs well, or has until this year. With the start of Middle School, he's making a spectacular nosedive that's heartwrenching to watch. He's...

My difficult child has been on the same medications(Depakote ER) for his Bipolar since he was 17 and other than them putting him to 3 or 4 pills nothing else has changed. I told his psychiatrist that something was not working right and she thinks is all about him controlling his temper...WHAT? :angry: It is hard...

Ativan and Haldol Does anyone have a child that is taking these now and how good do they work? They are putting this on top of the medications already listed below.:anxious:

I left the morning post when difficult child came in and said he had just had some suicide thoughts. It is very difficult for him to explain what these are - what I gather is that they are quickly passing thoughts - they do not "stick" but are strong enough to get his attention and scare him. His anxiety...
