ativan

per therapist at partial. I was on the phone with her today because psychiatrist still, since Thursday, has not returned a phone call or email. She's about ready to get fired :angrygirl: therapist confirmed my thoughts - mania - rapid cycling. Racing thoughts - noisy, disruptive (although not intentional -...

Well, we have an appointment with the Partial psychiatrist Friday for Dyl. I haven't kept up to date on all the newest, latest, greatest medications out there for ADHD symptoms - and I'm just lookin' to see if anyone knows anything new or has had luck with something after trying others and having none LOL! Dylan...

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...

This is part of a process to try and get over my EXTREME rage at Daughter for once again putting us on display like a freak show in public. I swear all we needed was a barker to bring in a larger crowd. I’m so angry and I feel like I’m never NOT going to be angry again. Today, Daughter was to...

I'm reminded of the post about giving the cat a bath! LOL easy child/difficult child needs to get a blood test. 3 different doctors have tests they want to do and I want to do a food allergy test so we are combining it into one blood draw. There really is no option to not do it. difficult child has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and it is bothering...

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...

difficult child#1 is still in foster home. Originally we were looking at the end of the school year, which is next week, for her to return home. Nothing has really changed with her. She thinks she has changed and really wants to come home but when pressed about it, what she really wants is to return home so...

My 5yo difficult child (High-Functioning Autism (HFA), congenital heart defect) went in for heart surgery in Boston on the 7th. He did really well! The staff at Children's in Boston were really great. I am really happy with how they listened to me (actually believed that I know my kid better than they do!) and really did a lot to...

I'm on my way to psychiatrist for medication check. I plan to ask for a referral to a therapist who works with addictive eating stuff. I feel so powerless and responsible. I remember when I was young and ignorant and I would see overweight kids and think "what a horrible parent" they had. I have always had a...

Well Willy had big eposide with therapists and his sister when they were at the museum. He was fine when he left and the first hour. He had $1 left of his money he just had to take and spend it. Well after he bought his thing for $1 he got mad and said he wanted his $1 back he didn't want it...

husband and I have decreased K's medications her Geodon by 1/2 from 80mg 40mg and stopped her Neurontin it was down to 100mg once daily. I don't know if the medication change triggered this mood or if it was coincidental? She has not slept, is talking about imaginary friends... right now she is sobbing about her...

My son is currently in a physchiatric hospital to get his medications stabilized. During this time (8 LONG days and counting) he has been given PRN medication either by mouth or injection (ativan and more often zypraxia) when he is having a violent meltdown. While the goal is to become satablized...

good morning to everyone, so i had to jump on this morning quick and say this much. i do believe that dr.s are out of their minds, yes i do i got the diagnosis of my little difficult child hence anxiety disorder which i knew and have always known and supposedly depression. sorry not buying it i'm...

Someone suggested this and I thought it was a good idea. We have to remember that everyone is different and that this isn't a "yes" or "no" on anything, just our own children's experineces. I'll start. Ritalin was my son's first medication and it didn't do anything much for him. He was then put on...

Well, my difficult child had his psychiatry appointment. yesterday. He and I both feel that maybe since NONE of the medications he's tried for ADHD have been well tolerated (Concerta, Adderral, Straterra, the patch, and Straterra again, in that order), that maybe we're treating the wrong thing. So, we're now looking at...

easy child was taking different SSRI's over the summer to try to get her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) under control. She took Zoloft for a few weeks until she lost weight from it. Then she took fluvoxamine for probably 6 weeks until she was hyper and impulsive. Then she tried Paxil for 5 days and was starting to get hyper...

I feel my life force being choked out of me by this anxiety. difficult child calls for me almost every night to lay down with him because he is scared. I can't leave the room or he freaks. I'm not kidding. I don't understand why this is getting worse. I have very few people in my support system and difficult child...

Hello everyone, I will try and write you more later if I am not too tired when the boys go to bed. I wanted you to know the Doctor (my new Dr. whom I am excited about), prescribed CIPRALEX for me. I am not happy that I feel I need to take these drugs (antidepressants). But, living how I do...

It's been an ugly few weeks with kt emotionally. She really has been tesing us & our commitment to her. (hate Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)) As I was speaking with a nurse from the home health organization this past evening I couldn't ever hear her as kt's meltdown was huge & very loud. Off the phone, I turned to...
