After that difficult first week, I have been very pleased with the new ED program that Tigger is in. We had our big meeting to get everyone on the same page and the new school really hustled to get the accomodations in place that we decided on. Tig has a tent in the classroom that he can crawl...

So sad... psychiatrist can't do anything. Has no suggestions. Wants to tirate off Seroquel (even though I said twice in the meeting today I wanted to talk about increasing it). Mentioned Thorazine (uhh, after hearing side effects, no thanks - I don't need my kid's eyes rolling around in his head...

today with the head of such and such at the partial due to the negligence of psychiatrist. After Thursdays incident with D's head going through the window, the hypomanic/depressive phases occuring at partial, and his inconsistent, out of control behaviors here (did the worlds realign or shift or...

Of course, I have a copy of every one. But, this time, it took me a while (what a surprise, eh?) to get current psychiatrist's referral for the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). If you remember my frustration with psychiatrist (at partial), she left 6 emails and 4 days worth of phone calls left unattended to. Not to mention my son being...

Complicated difficult child! Has Tourettes (Tourette's Syndrome) with mild, barely noticeable tics. But has all the co-morbids seen with Tourette's Syndrome (ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).) Perfect at school, great group of friends, saves all the ODD for home! Several therapists and P-docs stumped by how to treat her and have had many possible diagnosis's...

My son is 6 and is a sweet and adorable child, whose smile lights up the room. He is very bright and has an amazing aptitude for numbers. He's very friendly....but doesn't connect well with others. He's extremely stubborn and becomes obsessed with odd things (like the color red) and is willing...

For those of you that have children that simply cannot let things go, I'm wondering what you do when the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) type thoughts drive you batty. Part of my problem is, with D, he worries and obsesses over things that are trivial (to most of us, anyway), but the things that are severe (again, to...

First let me say that I am so sorry to those of you who have been so supportive and concerened for me and my family, for disappearing for so long. I don't really have a reason other than I couldn't bear to talk about what has been happening. Thank you so very much for all of your thoughts and...

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...

Hi Everyone! It's been a couple months since I posted. I'll post a quick summary and then my questions. 5 yr old son in 1/2 day Kindergarten diagnosis'd with ADHD (combined) and severe ODD in Oct. 07 Finally got evaluated by school and an IEP in place in Mar. 08 IEP is for...

I run a daycare and one of my kids is also a difficult child. He has been on 27mgs of concerta and was doing well with it. He is ADHD and ODD. A bit more argumentative and irritable than my difficult child but otherwise very similar. His mum felt that the medications weren't working as well and so the doctor upped him to the...

we never heard from any police. my older son who is a cop looked into the computer and said there are no charges there for ant. so...who knows if the arresting cop is out of town or what? I do not think this will go away. meanwhile he is very anxious and fearful. he was drinking beer nightly...

that may be working for your kid. What do you do when you've tried them all? Dylan's hyperactivity and impulsivity are skyrocketing. We had him 6 full days over the holiday, and every person that came in contact with him said he seemed "10x worse", "ready to jump out of his skin", "couldn't...

We held our one week review today. therapist/psychiatrist/myself/D and our MH/MR worker. D is doing MUCH better, thank God, with his initial anxiety of being placed. The first few days were very, very rocky, but the last several have been good. His spirits are much better, much happier - many gripes, but...

Well, we got there. Took a few weeks to get it all together, but he's in. We left here yesterday around 8 AM, I got home arund 8 PM. Typical intake - signing my life away to releases and insurance documents and such. Met with psychiatrist and therapist together - both seem pretty nice. I asked about...

The medication merry go round. The Zyprexa made her angry all the time, instead of just half the time. Very aggressive, irritable, raging, irrational and all the other adjectives. doctor tried 2.5 mg of Prozac. Makes her hyper out of her mind. Today, her troop leader pulled me aside and told me that...

Hi there. I am brand new to this site- in fact I am lost with-regard to all the abbreviations/forum nomenclature. I registered on this website two weeks ago and have been so hesitant to jump in. Strange, because I have searched high and low for a support group with other parents and professionals...

my 9 year old has been diagnosed with odd, adhd, and tourette's....i love him to death, but sometimes it is so hard to like him....i wish there was a magic pill that would make him as sweet as when he was 2...imagine that...the boy had no terrible twos, he's had terrible 5, 6, 7...etc etc...you...

Yes, I know, I have taken a very long absence. I kinda missed everyone so I thought I'd pop in to say hello and spread some good cheer :) I tried to edit my signature, but the site won't allow me to do that. Not sure what the deal is. I was only at 122 characters and it still wouldn't take...

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...
