Little Bear is being referred to a great children's hospital in our state and we are now waiting for his appointment to their psychiatry clinic. It takes 6-8 weeks after referral to be called for an appointment. so I am trying to get all my question's together now. We have tried all kinds of medications and...

difficult child 2 has moved into full blown Early Onset Bipolar 1 since starting school the beginning of Sept. A lot of mixed symptoms that culminated in aggressive rages. While I was pretty sure he would end up with a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis his psychiatrist was on the fence and stuck with the Mood Disorder not otherwise specified label until a...

difficult child was just in my daughter's bedroom with my DS and I hear "look, I'm committing suicide!!" (I kept the baby monitor on) So I went to the door and I hear DS saying "I don't want to hear any more of that ****" So the explaination is he was using Woody (doll) and standing him on the edge of daughter's...

Thursday night difficult child told me that he was nervous about this weekend. He and husband were going to sister in law's to pick up a love seat. They would go down to the cities Friday afternoon, attend a Viking's Game and come back on Saturday (today). Diva and I went to my sister's also in the cities (about 1/2...

Back in the Twilight Zone... husband and I conduct periodic backpack checks and bedroom searched-but last night, we decided we would search with a goal in mind...if we found no stolen items and no candy/gum or anything else she's not supposed to be stashing in her room...we were going to make a big...

psychiatrist added the generic of Cylexa. After 4 days, difficult child will be taking 20 mg/day of it. Does anyone have experience with this? He also raised difficult child's low dose of depakote er to 750 mg/day and kept the lithobid at 1200 mg/day. We will be leaving soon to go sit at the dr's office to get difficult child checked...

Hello all. I'm new here, and couldn't find an Introduce Yourself section, so I figured I'd start in here. I'm familiar with message boards, but know that each one is unique. I'm a single parent of a 16yr old daughter who is having a hard time, and giving me a very hard time. The most...

Hi All- difficult child 2 has been on zoloft since July--At one point he was on 50 mg but he was bouncing off the walls-totally hyper--falling out of his seat etc.....I spoke with the doctor and he said to reduce it to 25 mg....he had a terrible reaction to this decrease and had a major rage.... The...

So, difficult child had an appointment with the therapist tonight. This is the first one since I sent him the e-mail last week about how angry I was when I felt that difficult child manipulated the session so that he would not have to talk about his behavior at home. He asked difficult child about how he behaves towards me at...

So difficult child has his appointment with his therapist the other night and I came out so aggravated! therapist, husband and I all met last week to make sure that we are all on the same page in connection with dealing with difficult child and his behaviors at home. We came up with the idea of a difficult child Book. Each night I write in...

No that isn't difficult child's progress report grades. It's easy child's (or maybe it should be difficult child the 2nd). All the teachers commented she isn't doing her homework. She feels she shouldn't have to talk about her grades and we shouldn't be concerned because they are her grades:angry: She also has been...

difficult child is trying Prozac/fluoxetine. The psychiatrist insisted that it was chemically dissimilar enough from Zoloft that he wouldn't get the awful reactions he got last time. She instructed us to dissolve a 20 mg tablet into about 8 oz. of cranberry juice, and have him sip some every day, to get the...

We had our usual psychiatrist appointment today and most of the time was spent focused on difficult child 1 and all the issues that have plagued him this year. Problems with impulse control, sexual compulsion/obsession, mood swings, irritability, aggression, poor motivation, horrible IBS, poor memory... probably...

This afternoon--difficult child went missing from school...for real this time. Police were called AGAIN. Friends and neighbors were alerted to be on the lookout AGAIN. husband drove around the neighborhood looking for her AGAIN. Finally, she was found some five hours after school let out, walking on the...

Several years ago when master was evaluted at the autism clinic they said he had a throat clearing tic. It comes and goes, I haven't heard him do it in quite some time, at least a year. Though because of his chronic allergies much of the time it's a legitemate response to increased mucus...

difficult child has been unbearable lately. We seem to go in cycles of managable to horrible. Some weeks good, some awful. This past week we are in crisis again. Every little thing sets him off in a rage of anger, hate and aggression. I don't understand why. He says no one in this family loves him, we treat...

psychiatrist appointment Friday went well. I met with him privately to talk about the $500 in data charges difficult child 1 ran up on his brother's phone looking at porn, his violence and destructiveness, his general ability to pi$$ everyone off around him -- all when he's off stimulants in the morning and at...

The psychiatrist suggested I reduce difficult child 1's Lexapro in an effort to curb his over-the-top ODD-type behaviors when the stimulant wears off. For example, arguments would escalate to the point where he would either run away, break something, slam doors, throw things, or he would lie, seek out porn, steal things...

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how Little Bear is doing since my last post! I am keeping my fingers crossed, but Little Bear is doing extremely well since he started intuniv right before christmas. We went to his last appointment and talked a lot about him possibly having a diagnosis of high...
