:anxious: Hello. I am the mother of three children. Two wonderful girls who are ten and twelve... and a challenging 6 y.o son named Elijah. He has been a difficult child since birth. He was my third child and my worst labor and delivery. He did not know how to **** his bottle when he was...

Hello All-- I found this forum a short while ago and I have found "myself" in many of the postings here. It seems like so many of us are going through similar difficulties. Anger, self-control issues, oppositional behaviors, violence, outburts, tantrums...my family and I have been going...

difficult child has only been on Zoloft for 2 days, so I don't think that's it. He has been getting up in the middle of the night and playing PS2, and sneaking snacks. I thought I had hidden anything with-wheat and oats in my locked office. I think these things have babies in the middle of the night. When you...

So we are new to the medication rodeo, but difficult child was finally placed on Lexapro. She claimed she was tired last night, but that seemed a little quick to feel symptoms? I've toyed with the whole medications idea for several years, but lately her anxiety and ager are too great for me to bear. I hope it helps her...

Please read my post about Celexa. I have details about my difficult child's situation and new prescription. Appreciate any help!!!

I felt like a little girl getting a scolding. She was upset that I didn't call. SRL, you were right, I should have. She said that the kind of anxiey difficult child was experiencing, especially at night was not to be tolerated. I guess what happens is that you get sooo used to challenging and odd...

since his former best friend moved back to Australia last summer. He was invited to another buddy's house tonight. I called him an hour ago to remind him to take his medications. He sounded like he was having fun, and said there was another boy from school over there who he's also friends with (never...

I noticed that a few of your difficult children take Lexapro for anxiety. I have posted a few times about my difficult child and his behaviors lately. I believe the Zoloft simply has to go. I called the psychiatrist's office yesterday about my concerns. I described the suspension for taking a knife to school, the slicing our...

Hello everyone-- I know you have been following my posts about the revolving door to NON-services that we've been going through...and the useless psychiatrists who have categorized my daughter as simply "depressed" and suggested we be more lenient parents, (or stricter parents depending on the day)...

I don't get on here much, but I look to you for your wealth of information and experience!! My difficult child, 10, is on cymbalta for ADHD/anxiety issues. We have a pscyh. doctor that I'm fairly confident of -he is well known as a child's advocate and diagnostic. I have an appointment with him this week to go...

I posted a few weeks ago about our difficult child who is in the jjc and was placed in a program that I was trying to have him moved from, with no success. I read a post that stated some of the programs that are based on "earning" your release can be very helpful, this gave me hope. Our difficult child calls once a wk...

My step son is 'sexually reactve' and is constantly toughing other kids or convncing them or tricking them into touching him. He is currently in therapy, and it seems to be doing absolutely not good! The problem isnt jsut him. He is perping on his little brother and now his brother is dong it as...

Hello, I just joined the group. I have a 13 year old who is in a residential care facility for severe depression and suicidal ideation. While there he has been diagnosed with elements of conduct disorder. When I read the literature it's sounds like he has many elements of conduct disorder...

difficult child has finally seen the need to go back on her AD (lexapro 10 mg) all by herself with no world war III. Big relief. So, I go to refill the prescription and now the insurance is wanting prior approval from the doctor and may make her try something else. This just really annoys me because she...

difficult child went to school yesterday. It was a good thing because I was starting to get emails from his CM at school about him missing too much work. The principal has really slowed down communication-not a good sign at this point. I can tell difficult child feels better but he seems to be pushing this illness for...

difficult child tells me today that he wants to drink or smoke or something because he doesn't feel the way he should. OK, so I tell him this means the medications are not right yet and we need to discuss this with psychiatrist. I asked if he had been doing anything- he said sneaking and smoking cigarettes sometimes. I say...

As some of you may remember, about 8 months ago I put d on 10 mg of celexa to try and help with his disabling anxiety. I had to come to the opinion that most of his issues were related to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) stuff and thought a low dose of an SSRI was worth a trial. I looked for signs that it might bring...

We've been having a lot of problems with difficult child 1's behavior the past few months. He provokes his sibs verbally and physically (name calling, poking, spitting, threatening to hit, etc.) and then when they react he gets violent. He is argumentative with both husband and I and gets confrontational and...

Elijah had his last visit with his old psychiatrist yesterday afternoon. It was definetly quite an afternoon. My husband stayed home with the other children. My cell phone was dead because my brother in law did not pay the bill so I had no phone (He has a family plan... we pay him each month...

I've never joined a forum before but I need to talk to someone that has similiar problems like I am dealing with. I have a darling 8 yr old daughter that is seeing a child psychiatrist for anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but she has horrible rage attacks...we had her on Paxil and it didn't work, she stopped...
