chlonidine

Honestly, I think we've done most of them. This is kind of a follow up to the ADHD thing. We did meet with psychiatrist on Friday, and she was gracious (as always) to go ahead with my thoughts on re-trying the Concerta (just one more time, even though we've tried it two or three times, I keep hoping...

In trying to figure out what is going on with my 10 year old difficult child (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), chronic tic disorder) I several times stumbled across info on Tourettes that seemed to describe her, except it usually mentioned ADD/ADHD, which she doesn't show any signs of. Last week the psychiatrist who we met...

difficult child's psychiatrist is wanting to try another d**n medication. psychiatrist absolutely believes that difficult child is bipolar and ADHD. Now I had a neuropsychologist done at an early age and it agreed with a mood disorder. Even though it was independent, I don't think it was as thorough and again he was young. He saw a pediatrician...

Actually, it is the generic (lorazepam) and psychiatrist had prescribed 0.5 mg tablets as needed but cautioned not to give it to difficult child often due to addictive nature. He said to start with one tablet and if it was too much then give 1/2. If it wasn't enough, give more but not to exceed 2 tablets in one...

hi to all, hoping everyone is well. i'm waiting on columbia to contact me today with evaluation dates and grand total on what this is going to run me. their willing to work out payment plan which is great. wonder how payment plan on 10K looks......ugh anyway rin's arleady experiencing...

Hi everyone: Been a while since I've been on since it's been so hectic at home and work. I thought the best way to do this would be an update and then list my questions. Overall, difficult child continues to do "OK"; basically he stays away from anything that will remotely cause him stress or make him...

good morning to everyone, so i had to jump on this morning quick and say this much. i do believe that dr.s are out of their minds, yes i do i got the diagnosis of my little difficult child hence anxiety disorder which i knew and have always known and supposedly depression. sorry not buying it i'm...

so i have a question in regards to my difficult child who i can't figure out. how can it be that on some nights she is able to sleep without a problem when given the chlonidine and other nights she can't. it's almost as if it wasn't even given to her. those to me are the nights she is manic, when she...

Not to be a thread jacker or nothing....but I am hopping on to Weeping Willow's thread... Yes K is still manic... she is still not sleeping. psychiatrist called on Wed night and he said just stop the Geodon... we had titrated back down to 40 mg. He said just stop. That night she was up again seeing...

we kicked the Geodon. Was stimulating (I'm laughing, because wouldn't that be typical of my son?). Our choices are, very obviously, limited. The doctor, again (if you remember, he tried this once), suggested the Tegretol. There is an interaction warning with Lithium and Tegretol. After I reminded...

I feel like I cannot do this anymore....this life.... it seems I have been on the wrong end of karma for years. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer only 5 weeks ago. His hair is starting to fall out, he is talking about his last days, and the reality that he only has a short time...

Hi again. I've not been around in the last month. School is keeping me very busy and difficult child is sliding downhill as well. I was reminded yesterday that she's a 6-7year old in an 11 year old's body. So it could be that everyone might be asking more than she can handle?? We just had her IEP on...

I know some of you with difficult child's with extreme anxiety and a tendency to get physical have emergency prn's. We normally use the clonodine or tenex that *usually* knocks our difficult child out, but it doesn't always work. I am looking at taking difficult child on a trip with me (to see the baby). He is doing really...

difficult child has not slept all night but once this week he says he doesn't want to be alone he's been awake since 2 am and doesn't get any medications until 7 am he gets 2 benadryl & a 1/2 clonodin every night at 5 pm any later and he has trouble going to sleep by 9 pm i'm at my witzend please help

What have others here used it for? What did it help, what did it make worse?

My difficult child has taken Paxil since he was 10 years old. P. doctor #1 prescribed it for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and depression. He also took Clonidine. We tried to take him off of all medications. almost two years ago. But his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) returned and his mood was awful. He ended back on Paxil, eventually at an even higher dose but not...

she now has almost 7mg in her system and she's flying high. was sweeping living room turned around she was ontop of dining room chair dancing. need i say more?? :) doctor says well if she doesn't sleep............. ahh that's where we are now call me. we'll add something else. ativan he was...

I am SO utterly exhausted. I have a friend coming over next wk to splice the cord on the TV, so it can have a diff kind of plug that won't go into a wall socket, and then plug it into the remainder of the cord, which can go into a wall socket, so I can take 1/2 the cord to my office and lock...

hey me again! :) alot of lost venting to make up for so, anyone out there have a manic anxiety ridden kid like mine who pulls all nighters each night or just goes to bed at 3 and 4 a.m. each night? how do you cope? i'm just wondering because we're out of ideas. i try to put her down, yet...

hi i hope everyone had a good, calm day today :) I have a question, I will be calling doctor tomorrow yet wanted some feedback It's only the 2nd day difficult child's been on 12.5mg seroquel. She tends to react to medication's rather quickly so I wasn't surprised to see a change immediately in her...
