We finally met with-the psychiatrist today and told him about difficult child's tight chest and breathing problems, and how they hit him several times a day. Both therapist and psychiatrist think it's panic attacks, so psychiatrist suggested Prozac. I nixed that because of difficult child's prior problems. We are discontinuing the Imiprimine. And the...

Hey everyone. I need some advice. When my daughter (6) has her meltdowns/tantrums over anything and everything -what should I be doing? She will not stay in her room. She kicks the door if we close her in (I'm worried she might hurt herself). If we let her out around the house, she tries to...

I'm finally getting somewhere with my son! My son has had an explosive personality since he was born. When he was 3 I began evaluations with a clinical psychologist whom a friend had recommended to whom she had taken her daughter with ADHD. Big mistake! Within 15 minutes of talking with me...

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I posted here though I still come occasionally to read posts. We are still in Morocco - after to-ing and fro-ing about where to go, I decided in the end that continuity was the most important thing. J has started at a new school here, kind of...

Im still sick, tired, issues with grandpa, dad, Aunt neighbors, sister... Holidays coming up not happy. Now add daughter and son. Daughters mad I let son play computer first- she was in bed. Son been moody,demanding, throwing down vacuum, spraying water on my computer now slamming his door over...

Hi all. It has been a long time. TO update: I was in school this semester. Trying to get certified in medical billing so I can work from home.. Sammy has been doing ok for the most part. This week he was "suspended" for the day because he was hitting. I told them thank you for rewarding...

Hi, after reading about Elijah, and noting that my difficult child is only on 1/2 a 0.5 mg tablet of Clonidine, I'm wondering what to suggest to the psychiatrist on Mon. The Zoloft was a total bust, if you all recall. No mood changes, but plenty of physical symtoms. He did SO well on the Clonidine in the psychiatric hospital when...

at the foot of my bed. He had a huge fit over a shirt I gave him and none of it made sense. (He loves getting anything this was odd) then saying don't ever touch my money ....(he had called earlier and asked me to bring it when I picked him up, and now saying he heard the mom was killed in her...

We will soon have a decision to make and begin our journey to the place so many of you have been...filled with hope that our almost-6-yr-old son will have one tool to improve his early kindergarten "bully" label. For my aggressive, defiant, grouchy, mean, physical, friendless and fit-throwing...

Hello, I am here because i have concerns about my almost 4 year old, I have been trying to find information online about different behaviour disorders as i feel she may have one of them although her symptoms dont fit any particular one .i have always felt that she was different, even as a baby...

Hi - this is my 1st time posting. We've recently (3days ago) started our 6year old DS on clonidine. My son has been diagnosis with anxiety. He is competitive beyond belief and is becoming extremely disruptive with team sports, camps and continues to be difficult at home. He has rage outburst...

Yikes, another rough morning here with son. Getting him up is always time consuming and energy draining.( same as daughter ) Even when he wakes on his own( rarely for school) you never know what your gonna get. Good mood, bad mood, even if good mood can turn so quick over anything. So we came...

I'm a newbie, so forgive me if this has been discussed over and over. My 7 year old (sometimes) difficult child (ADHD, ODD) is on 20mg Daytrana, 25 mg Strattera, two other medications for Crohn's disease, and now his psychiatric wants to put him on Clonidine to help control his anger. I also want to help him control his...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking in the shadows for awhile but have decided to finally show myself. I have a question about stimulants. My 13 yr old daughter is currently taking 15 mgs of adderall which works really well. The only problem is that she seems to metabolize it very quickly and she's...

Well i took my son to the doctors to get my referal to a Neuophy. He saw the same one in 2006 and that was when he was diagnosis with ADHD. But we have gone 2 years now in a behavior classroom and IEP's and just trying to get things together with no luck. No one can figure out my kid. He can have the...

Last night the Devil appeared in my dream as a good looking normal man but with black eyes with a strong "hold"( mentally) over me. I realized who he was and I couldnt wake up. Everywhere I tried to hide, he found me. There was no way out from him. Im suppose to be Catholic but not a practicing...

Literally. Several local pharmacies ran out of it 2 wks ago, and while we were waiting for the refill, difficult child decided he felt better with-o it. His speech is a bit rapid and forced, but nothing I can't live with. As long as he stays on the lithium, clonidine and omega 3, I'm happy. Fingers crossed...

i was wondering if any of you had any experience with Clonidine? my difficult child gets .5 mg about 45 min before bed...now it doesnt happen every time..but some nights he just bawls for seemingly no reason..hell say hes tired or something scared him...but cant tell me what...was wondering if the clonidine...

difficult child has had trouble breathing lately. Today, his second day back to school, he said his chest was tight and he had to put his head down on his desk, and his sinuses were tight, and the feeling came and went all day but mostly, it stayed constant. He said he just can't breathe. husband thinks it's...

He was SO excited! On his own, he decided to wear tan khakis, a belt, a pale blue dress shirt, wash off his grass-stained shoes, and shave. On the way over there, since I had suggested going early and eating, he said he didn't think it was professional to be eating before or during so he would...
