Today difficult child had a meltdown because he didn't want to go to his dad's house. He goes for one day every weekend but he was tired this morning and I guess he hadn't prepared for the transition. So here he is yelling that he hates his dad, hates his house, wish he never met him, stop talking to me...

Hi everyone, psychiatrist wants to try difficult child on Wellbutrin - starting at a low dose. He was tried on Zoloft 6 months ago and we got all of the negative reactions after 8 weeks on the medication that are warned. I have read a bit about Wellbutrin and it seems they have just about the same warnings for it as...

AFter yesterdays episode with the boys shooting difficult child and destroying many things, difficult child was the saddest I ever saw. husband and I DID blow up at him. After a cooling down period I tried to talk to him, but he pushes me away. I tried to get him to go to the ice-rink/plex for teen night (middle school)...

So after several visits with the psychiatrist and an evaluation at the autism research clinic, we were told ds has anxiety and adhd. We tried prozac and celexa for the anxiety but it only activated him and made him more aggressive. I would LOVE to try medicating his adhd (severe) but I'm afraid...

Hello all! I apologize for the time I've been away. I figured I'd pop in to check on how everyone was doing & share an update on us. M- We switched M over from Celexa to Zoloft about 2 months ago and the switch seemed to help a bit. He's a little more under control and less angry. Still...

Ugh. M has always been a master of telling you what you want to hear. Ironically, he's a terrible liar. But, over the years he's always been either resistant to saying how he feels or unable to (I'm not sure which) and instead he spits out what he knows is the "right" answer. The SW's &...

I can't tell you all how glad I am to have found this wonderful comfort zone. I have a 4 1/2 year old son by my husband, and a almost 6 yr. old daughter from a sd (sperm donor). My son is my problem. I haven't had a chance to get him evaluated exstensively but was evaluated once but a learning...

So reading some of your histories like MWM and SRL and Sara PA and Janna as well as a bunch of others... I am sitting here thinking OK we all seem intelligent. Although how much did we know in the beginning? What were the missteps in getting a missed diagnosis for some of you... how do we know if it...

Hello, all. I have been lurking for a little over a month, I guess, since I began to suspect that my 4yo boy might have ODD. I've been researching and thinking and reading and now think he has some of the symptoms, but I'm not sure he would get a diagnosis. For example, he is not wantonly...

Well, at long last, we have taken the step on putting him on Risperdal. We are finally comfortable enough with the diagnosis of Tourette's Syndrome and BiPolar (BP) and have had a CAAT scan, EEG, blood tests and have a BiPolar (BP) Specialist who is closely monitoring things. It has been two days on the medication and so far, so...

I am new to the whole world of cutting. i found out tonight my 18yr difficult child has been cutting for 1.5yrs. her cuts aren’t deep so I have been told. Brief summary of why I am here: my oldest difficult child has been a handful for a long time. I came to this board a few years back when I had no where else to...

So...1 pm is my discharge meeting at the psychiatric hospital to go over our discharge plan for M (and Lord help me, I have to bring my unruly 3 1/2 yr old along because I can't find anyone to watch him!). Here's the tentative plan and what I know about the situation and my concerns (I will find out more at 1...

OK, here goes. I am a 32 year old Mom with my Son, thank you who will be 11 in May. My daughter is 8 and has no problems whatsoever. My hubby just rejoined the Army and is in training, will not be home until May. He is my son's step dad, the only dad my son has known because his real father has not...

Ok, now I need advice on how to get my stubborn difficult child to take the medication.... He is trialing Dexadrine, to rule out severe ADHD but he likely has Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). I have tried crushing up the tablet and hiding it in milk or yogurt but he figured it out and refused to finish it. Then I found a great new...

Hi, remember me (the overnight change). We went for the second blood test for strep, and it was negative. I know the doctor is not up on PANDAS, and I still think he might have missed something. We have an appointment for a full physical next friday, and I am going to ask for a neuro workup...

I dunno what's up with R today but I'm absolutely ready to run away from home. He was uncontrollable this am when we had to take daughter to do her dance revue pix. From there we had to run an errand at the mall and he was worse. He has destroyed his room and when anything is said about it or any...

Hello to all the other frustrated parents. I am a single mom with an 7 yr old who has run the gammit to find out what is causing his behavior issues. I have an IEP, he has seen a psychologist, psychiatrist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), neurologist, and a regular psychician. So far all we have are guesses. First the...

And refusing to see any of it. She has a therapist appointment tonight, and she is saying she is not going. That she does not need it! From the child that couldn't get out of the car on Monday to go to school. But that was my fault. She also said she doesn't need any of her medications. She is fine with out...

I know that some of you here have dealt with this issue. difficult child is on Celexa (20 mg) and the psychiatrist wants him to start Risperdal (.25 mg) and he is refusing to take it. He says that it's the Celexa that is making him behave badly (because we put him on it in the first place because he was behaving...

Just talked to the Dean of Students at difficult child 1's school. They're getting worried. He's always been a big talker when it comes to frustration. "I'm going to kill (insert professional here). Yesterday, during a meltdown, he blew up saying he was going to kill the bus driver if he didn't get to...
