We had an appointment this morning with difficult child's psychiatrist, things went well, I think. We decided that she will discontinue the Concerta, and with regular monitoring, we will try to start off next school year without the stimulants, and if medications become necessary again, she would like to try the...

I found your site last night. What a god send. I'm grateful for all the posts. We need a medication for our difficult child (finally breaking down) to combat ODD stuff. He's currently on Focalin for ADHD -- works well 'til it wears off then LOOK OUT! YIKES! Major BS'er, brat, liar, etc. doctor prescribed Lexapro 5...

Just my luck, you know, my case was assigned to someone who was out sick!!! I called SS Admin and was like I had a telephone interview at 2pm and its now 245 and noone has called. They finally called something like 3pm. The psychiatrist, changed Eric from dexadrine to clonodine 0.1mg 1/2 tab...

Hello everyone! I have a question about a medication called Clondine (spelling) My 5 year old is currently not on any medication for his ADHD, and I had read on another website that Clondine can be used in ADHD cases and it could be taking during the day (I have always heard it was used at night...

My difficult child had a complete melt down last night. Her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) seems to be getting worse. The meltdown last night was due to the fact that I lost one of her toys (her tamagochie). She asked for it before she went to bed and when i couldn't find it anywhere she became hysterical. This went on for about...

difficult child 2 is doing pretty well these days at 750mg Depakote ER, however, he still has issues with attention and hyperactivity... it's not so bad for the demands of his summer schedule, but when school starts it's going to cause problems for him. psychiatrist said we could reintroduce the Daytrana at 20mg...

Hi family, Jayme had a pediatrician appointment this morning for her 3 yo check up. It was also a follow up on all the results from Shriners evaluations and testing. pediatrician is still not convinced that Jayme isn't on the Autistic Spectrum. With her ability in knowing all her letters, letter sounds, numbers, colors...

I joined this list some time ago when I thought my son was ODD ... We never got a diagnosis and it wouldn't have mattered anyway... He was in a CTT class for K & 1 and moved to a gen ed class for 2nd grade .. he gets Occupational Therapist (OT) & PT and had speech until it was decided that he didn't really need...

Hi all, we visited the psychiatrist today. We are trying Imiprimene, which I'd wanted b4 we wasted our time (and difficult child's health) on Prozac and Zoloft, but you know how you have to jump through hoops. I hope this works. We have to do a blood draw in 6 wks. It also helps with-bedwetting and is...

Hello, this is my first post on this site and I joined this group to maybe find someone to talk to who understands the hell I go through with my son. My son is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. He is also speech impaired and on top of that has sensory issues, as if the first...

OK - So I need some insight from this wonderfully knowledgeable group! In the last 6 months my son has gone through some radical medication changes. He went off of Depakote, Seroquel, and Effexor - and started Clonidine. Two months ago, this change was complete. It has been 9 years since he has...

We just our neuro appointment yesterday and 3 psychiatrist appts the past couple of weeks. A lot of the talk is about Sammy's ability to learn. Apparently the seizures have caused some good amount of damage in his little brain and then add the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) to that. We are trying to schedule a 23 hour EEG to...

Talk of death......is it healthy curiosity or should I be concerned? For the last five days difficult child has talked of death. It started with questions of our other son's death, before difficult child was born/adopted. Ok, I handled that....the auto accident, etc. He wanted to know what it's like to die...

Hi my understanding family!!! I feel so horrible ugh! Well We started the Tenex on Thursday, .5mg @ 3pm and then she does that in the a.m. as well. I have read up on it and the side affects etc... but want anyone who actually *knows* lol Or your opinions!!! So far she has still been angry...

Hello eveyone, Well I have a 7 year old son that was just diagnosed with ODD, a daughter with sever anxiety disorder, and a husband that was diagnosed two years ago with Bipolar and so I am here! Life is busy, rough at times but I love them all. Just came home from hospital today as my hubby is...

Well, difficult child actually went into the psychiatrist the other night. I promised him that I would not fill the scrip for Zoloft last month, if he would promise to just meet her this time. (He refused to go in last time and sat in the car for an hr and a half). We waited 40 min. for the appointment. and he...

We all know that once our difficult child's become irrational, there's no way of getting through to them until they're calm. But I need some advice on the following. difficult child starts crying hysterically over the smallest thing, which is normally in his control to fix or do if he just did it. For example: this...

Someone suggested this and I thought it was a good idea. We have to remember that everyone is different and that this isn't a "yes" or "no" on anything, just our own children's experineces. I'll start. Ritalin was my son's first medication and it didn't do anything much for him. He was then put on...

difficult child now has to take the Clonidine in the morning. Do most of your difficult child's take their pills together? difficult child takes his Concerta in the morning and I was wondering if I can give him the Clonidine at the same time or do I have to make it a different time, like 1/2 hr apart? Does it matter?
