Hi all, I'm Jim, our son is 17, we just finally figured out, he has odd/cd, can someone please start us out in the right direction, this has been going on since birth, he takes 50mg of zoloft daily for his anxiety disorder, but I do not want him on a psychotropic medication any and all...

Maybe it's a sit-com. In the midst of all of this stress and turmoil--I got a call about a job application (Yay!!!!)... Only it was a little strange--the guy called me four times and kept changing the date he wanted me to come in for an interview. Weird, but whatever, it's a job. On the...

I've been lurking on this site, reading posts. I, just like all of you, didn't ask for this and never imagined life would be this way. My son, B, got his braces off today. Two years of panic attacks every time he had to have them adjusted. The last month spent preparing for today...

difficult child 2 is caught up on his work and just needs to put in some time on two projects for the end of the year. But he is having a hard time staying on track and focused this afternoon. He just ate some lunch so I'm hoping now he can concentrate a little better, but I'm getting a bit frustrated with...

difficult child is no better, really, than he was when he was four. He's fourteen now. He doesn't hit, but he pushes me. He picks, picks, picks as if I were his sister (I know you know what that's like..) He NEVER comes home when we say.....anywhere from fifteen minutes late to an hour. I try not to...

It is actually the school social worker. He called this morning to tell me that he was in the office at difficult child's school (he works in several) and he over heard a conversation that has him concerned. First he said difficult child was in the office, taking a cool off time. He said apparently he isn't a big...

for difficult child 2's Sydenham's tremor. He's not doing too bad his first day off Risperdal after the lovely dystonic dance yesterday. A little reactive. A little trouble cocentrating even with his Daytrana patch today. We'll get the new rx filled tomorrow. I may wait 'til the weekend to try this...

My 11 year old was doing so good. Yesterday she attacked me and left about 20 bruises and welts all over my chest. She had been doing good and earned some money for chores and not cursing. Sunday was the day that she was able to spend her earnings. She wanted to go to the Game place to pick...

difficult child, 2 days ago, had a "friend" over. It turned out to be the one he'd turned in before for drugs and then again a couple of mos ago for cutting himself (he reported it at school). I told difficult child the boy needed to leave, difficult child left with him for about 1/2 hour without permission, so I grounded difficult child...

Hello everyone. I hope all is well on the home front with all of you. We just got back from the visit. I didn't get to go in, when I got to the gate I could not find my License!! I put it in my pocket before we left the house, It must have fallen out of my coat. So my poor sister went in...

I may have asked this before, but I can't find the answer and to be honest, I forget. Not a big surprise. difficult child was on lithium in the summer, unfortunately he became toxic and the psychiatrist decided to switch to Lamictal. He had been doing pretty well,but his anxiety level has gotten worse. He makes me...

difficult child is down to 1/2 tab of clonazapam 3 times per day (.25 mg each time). He has started to feel the fears he felt last Summer. He says he just feels afraid for no reason and his head is starting to feel funny again. :( We have a medication doctor appointment tommorrow afternoon. I am so glad we started...

I'm curious about how many of us, here on the boards, have started on anti-depressents after dealing with our difficult children? I was told that I have PTSD/depression. This was recently. I started taking Lexapro about a month ago. I was so depressed that I was just crying all the time. After about a...

They took him off of Haldol and Ativan. They replaced it with Seroquel. Not happy with the scenerio that they are wanting to place him in and would be much happier if they would place him in a behavioral focused home. They are talking about placing him in a one bedroom apartment which would have...

This can be such a hard time of the year for them, and hence us Well, i took difficult child to the dermatologist today, I lucked out and pushed for an appointment...

ok i think i'm ready to medicate me now. Why am I making things harder by not taking something to help the anxiety i'm feeling? why? I ask myself everyday why I feel the need to torture myself, I'm into the old school lift up your chin and move forward, get a grip my mother drilled that into...

Well, now my son is on new medications! Anyone have experience with Lexapro and Ativan? therapist was trying to explain that Ativan is like valium. I don't know. I've heard of Lexapro just not enough to be confident.
