I think this will go down in history as the absolute worst day I have ever lived through. Let me set the stage. Yesterday Cory stole my cell phone once again after I allowed him to use it to call the baby's other grandmother first thing in the morning. He took off with it refusing to give it...

We took daughter to her first Child psychiatric appointment. yesterday. We were in the office for not more than 25 minutes total. First the Child Psychiatrist spoke to husband (husband said about 2 sentences about getting a tutor to free up time for myself and have less aggravation) and myself for about 15 minutes. Then she...

I feel like I cannot do this anymore....this life.... it seems I have been on the wrong end of karma for years. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer only 5 weeks ago. His hair is starting to fall out, he is talking about his last days, and the reality that he only has a short time...

I am new to this forum. I have an almost 8-year old daughter that I suspect is ADHD with ODD. She was evaluated when she was 3 yrs. old, however, at that time the evaluations were inconclusive. In addition, the evaluation by a neurologist and developmental pediatrician at that time were also...

For the past almost 2 weeks I've had a mysterious pain in my arm that shoots into my neck and wrist. My DR is working on getting me in for an MRI. It is not related to my heart. Also, my H fell off a ladder and is also in pain so he's cranky and besides that his usual annoying, non-helpful self...

husband took difficult child 1 to the pediatric dentist for a regular cleaning yesterday morning. difficult child 1 refused to get in the chair for the cleaning, despite 45 minutes of both the dentist and husband trying to convince difficult child 1 to cooperate. Afterwards, difficult child 1 told husband that he didn’t like the dentist poking his gums, the...

Here I thought I had detachment down cold. HAH! 2x4 descended on my head as I crawled along the Dan Ryan parking lot (aka highway) this morning.... easy to be "detached" when there are no dire consequences awaiting difficult child if he makes a boneheaded move. Not so easy when he loses some protection...

We have pretty much run out of AD's to try - unless we want to try the tryciclics (sp). Nothing has helped much (Zoloft, Welbutrin, Celexa, Lexapro, etc), and Prozac made difficult child intensely depressed complete with suicidal ideation and, at one point, a note and a plan. We are currently doing a medication...

I was just curious to know is there any of you who had to go on medications to help you cope with your difficult child? My sons psychiatrist has put me on SSRI to try and help me be less stressed, anxious, kind of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).....in general to help me have more patience and not loose it easily!!!! Ok....I was first on...

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...

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...

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...

Hello all. I hate that it's been a while since I've been on here and now I pop in asking for advice. :( I'm at my wits end and I don't know what to do. I'm hoping someone on here will have suggestions. I'm currently waiting for a return call from my son's psychiatrist and in the meantime I'm just...

I know I have mentioned this before, so please forgive me for venting about it again. I am just trying to figure out what to do and it helps to talk about it. My son's dr gave him a RX for Risperdal for his moods and to help with his aggression and hitting himself, etc..that was over a week...

difficult child and I saw therapist together. The ADD questionnaire that difficult child had completed last week - and which therapist did, in fact, tell difficult child that I would have to complete it as well - rates difficult child as "classic" ADD. therapist said she scored over the top. She also said that our responses to the questions were very...
