Yay! I know what was bugging me. Now, try and follow my logic (sometimes I confuse myself - I swear, running in cricles does that to me!). difficult child 1 goes into psychiatric hospital for medication assessment two Thurs. ago. They add tenex, increase trileptal and start lowering risperdal. They call me the following...

I am angry with my son's insurance company, with his psychiatrist, his therapist and his caseworker. They don't seem to realize that I do have a brain and may know what is best for my child. Okay....neither he or his brother are my biologically born children. They were born to my son and his...

Hi all. I haven't posted in quite a long time. I was diagnosis'd with breast cancer in late 2009, had sx and chemo and then was diagnosis'd again, same breast in late 2010. Mastectomy this time, chemo again and 33 radiation tx's. difficult child showed his butt at the most inopportune times for me (down with sx...

difficult child decided she was so tired that she went upstairs at 9:30 last night. (After staying home from school and sleeping 17 hours.) When we got upstairs to her room she was on her bed snuggling her dog just crying. She said she doesn"t understand why she has to be so tired after sleeping so much...

difficult child has this overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. In his "diary" that I am secretly reading he mentions thoughts of dying or revenge. After a rough day yesterday he ripped up all his drawings, posters, awards and even the diary. He was destroying things that were near and dear to his heart...

How do you look forward and say things will be ok? Right now I am having a hard time even seeing a productive future for my difficult child DD14. She is flunking out of H.S. right now, and does not care at all. We cannot get her to do any of her work. It is tearing me apart, not to mention what it is...

Hello all. I am new here, but unfortunately not new to the issues you all are going through. My husband and I are at the end of our rope with our difficult child 14. She has always dealt with anxiety,, and was on Celexa for years. We dealt with the anger outbursts as they came, and moved on. But as she has...

And the only reason we didn't let her is because easy child was trying to sleep. We didn't want the police to keep her awake. But, husband and I decided that we are done. If she tries again we will not be stopping her. We are so done with her and all of this. She obviously does not want to get better...

He has been, basically manic, for over 3 weeks. It was heartbreaking to leavwye him there last night. I have a meeting this morning with his doctor and staff. They have a tenative discharge date of April 12. But the told Carson it would be more like 2 weeks. Hes over an hour from us but I will...

Last time I was here we were going up on his Risperidone. He was having serious bouts of aggression (pulled a knife on his sister, cut my finger). He now takes one and a half of Risperdone. Plus the Celexa and the Intuniv. Surprisingly, to me anyway, it worked. We had no major tantrums...

My 11 years old aspie attacked his 17 years old sister and used a kitchen knife to damage dining table and threatened to stab himself. I called 911 and had them bring him to the hospital. After waiting 4 hours here, without even seeing the resident psychiatrist, thru the social worker, the...

difficult child came in last night to tell me she couldn't sleep. ( I have always told her she could come and get me ) So I went and got in bed with her and rubbed her back and sang to her. She ended up falling asleep pretty quickly. But, she kept having muscle spasms/twitches throughout her entire body...

Little Bear was put on a new medication yesterday by his Dr. because he had a major rage at school Mon. that lasted for 30min and included hitting, kicking, biting, bad language. He had to be restrained of course and was suspended for 2 days. I talked to his Dr. and she believes he is definitly...

I am trying to find information on oppositional defiant disorder. Where is a good place to start on this site? Is there a forum for dealing with behavior problems? Please point me in the right direction.

Hi.

He's fantastic at school. Straight A student. All of our problems seem to be in the home, but from what...

Our difficult child was admitted yesterday for residential psychiatric treatment. This week has been one of the worst in my life. I found these boards this morning and I'm grateful for their existence. I am filled with self-doubt. Did we do the right thing by sending him to a residential program? Will he...

Good Morning All-- Forgive me for venting here... Seemed like difficult child had been making good progress...the therapist felt that she improved so much on the Celexa that there was really no more need for weekly sessions (and just as well since Medicaid is dropping coverage of weekly counseling...

husband and I took difficult child to the Doctor today to discuss changing his medication and to also give him a drug test. (difficult child thought we were going to the Doctor for a Sports Physical that he needs for school.) While difficult child was out of the room doing an eye screening we discussed the slight possibility of...
