celexa

daughter saw a Developmental pediatrician. last week. husband said she didn't get a prescrip, she has to look through the paperwork and results still. Going back on 8/8. She wrote down Impulse Control, Mood Stabilizer and ODD. She asked if she's hypersexual, which she is. husband thinks she asked this because I...

I really don't know what I think about this psychiatrist. She spoke a few more words this time other than, "Ahhhh. Ok.", but....just but. She put difficult child on clonidine (sp?) 0.1mg to help with sleep. Said difficult child could take it with the 100mg trazodone because difficult child says the trazodone isn't working all that...

I really need some support from people who have been there. Background- Brendan is extremely smart. Lacks social skills, patience, manners, respect, etc. He was finally diagnosed with ADHD last year and was put on Ritalin and Celexa for his social anxieties. (scared of crowds) He has not hit...

We had the second opinion appointment with a different psychiatrist today. She suggested 2 options. Currently difficult child 2 is on Concerta, Intuniv, Celexa 10 mg. and Risperdal .25 mg. She suggests we first try to baby step the Celexa up because the biggest issue currently for difficult child 2 is the anxiety. However, I've...

Hi, I just found this site and I'm slowly working my way through the posts. I can't tell you how happy I am to find others in the same situation as I am! I'm a 50 year old grandmother who has had custody of 4 grandkids for about 5 1/2 years now. Currently a fantastic 16 year old girl, an...

Today is day 15 on 1 mg Intuniv. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to 2 mg. Tonight difficult child is so completely out of control. He is belligerent, combative, quarrelsome, antagonistic, contentious!!! He is annoying everyone! He is in all of our faces. He is acting like a crazed maniac. Looking back...

How do you all deal with the constant stress? Right now I am clinically depressed and fighting with myself constantly. I am so tired all the time and have no energy for anything. I tend to lock myself away in my bedroom and pray for absolute silence. I know this is hurting my youngest child...

First, I'm not exactly sure how I found this group and my son does not have any diagnosis but after reading through many of your posts I think this is the right place for me to find support, which I am desperately needing at this moment. My husband and I have 4 children. Our oldest son is 14...

Hello. I am so glad I found this site because I desperately need some advice. This is going to be long and I do apologize. I have a 12 year old stepson. I have been in his life since he was 9 and we have him every other weekend. My husband told me that he has always had behavior problems, even...

I hope I am posting this in the correct place, and that I completed my 'signature' properly. I found this site while investigating symptoms of ODD and Bipolar in teens. And then I wept with gratitude! My husband and feel as though we've gone a few rounds with a prize fighter after daily episodes...

So difficult child's been on Adderall XR 10 mgs for 1 1/2 weeks. THe idea was to get her up earlier and for her to feel motivated and have some energy. I give it to her around 7 am and she sleeps for another 5+ hours! How can she sleep on that? She's taking 20 mgs celexa and 50 mgs trazadone at night...

I talked to the psychiatrist just now about how difficult child is still really depressed. She's not going to school, is in bed all day, feels nothing is worth doing, doesn't see friends, etc. She's been on Celexa for 6 weeks and it hasn't been helping at all. She's been on 20mg. He said we should try 30mg. He...

Ever since we stopped his Concerta and have tapered off his Intuniv it has been beyond AWFUL!!! I don't know what to do. We cannot live like this another day. The only ADHD medication we haven't tried is Straterra. Should we at this point? It isn't going to solve anything quickly. I am so beyond...

So last night I went to give difficult child her night time medications and her ulcer medication. My adderall and her main ulcer medication come in the exact same size big bottle and the capsules are both blue and very similar looking. By accident, instead of giving her the Prilosec, I gave her one of my adderalls. I...

This morning, at 9am, I gave Carson his second dose of Focalin (umm, expensive medicine). An hour and a half later he went BESERK. He was banging his PSP3 controller into the wall--leaving a hole. Because he wasn't doing well at his game. He was screaming and then crying. Hard to console...

I have a 6 year old in kindergarten who just just not listen to me at all and is physically agressive in school and at home and grabs from other children and teases them. Ofcourse she has no friends or playdates and I have no friendships with the classmates parents and am lonely, depressed...

Hi there, i'm new here and so scared and heartbroken for my daughter. We sent her to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Friday night. She is 13 and will be 14 next month. The past two weeks have been an emotional hell. On Monday of last week, she forgot her lunch so i brought her some fast food. First thing she says to me...

Carson's younger brother (6) was playing around and went to put an empty box on Carson's head. Carson was watching TV and flew into a RAGE!! He attacked his brother. Then when I sent Carson to his room and Brother to his sister's room (the boys share a room) Carson screamed more. Hit the door...

I'm meeting tomorrow with the counselor and vice principal of difficult child's school, and I don't know what will happen, but I don't know what to say. difficult child has barely gone to school at all this semester. I've posted before about her problems, but now she's really bad and almost never leaves the house...

I am new to this site and am not really sure what to do with my 6 year old son. He is ADHD and has ODD. I am at my wits end. I had recently had him on Adderall. Thats where everything went down hill. Actually, since I started him on the medications it has been going down hill. His ODD didnt start...
