chlonidine

My son(4) was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. We discussed different methods to approach his treatment. one was to treat him for the anxiety first, in hopes that it would help us to recognize what causes it, and how we can help him to deal with it. Then in turn, we can help with other things...

This is going to be a really long break with difficult child. He is so far off. Yesterday was really difficult at my dad's (although he and his wife handled difficult child really well). He was so rude that husband and I were so embarrassed. Thankfully Dad and his wife understand. He is constantly bugging husband and/or me...

I want Occupational Therapist (OT) know if anyone feels like I do, and how you deal with it and not take it out on difficult child. difficult child is on clonidine in the evening, but really it comes down to his personality. I've talking about it before. There's just a constant need to argue, Its not that he's being specific (like an Aspie)...

Hi, I am new to posting and appreciate any support. My 9 yo son is taking medicine to treat ADHD for the first time. He has always had a very pleasant, positive attitude and gotten along well with his brothers. However since he has been taking intuniv (now on 2mg at day 17) his has 1-2...

difficult child has been taking the bus straight to his girlfriend's house and avoiding coming home until later. One of those give him an inch issues. He still hadn't finished his second English paper, and was supposed to do math, as well as practice NILD on a chalkboard at home. So I decided to give him natural...

He sounds very different. He calls several times a day, but sounds different in a good way. Now I don't know if this is honeymooning or him trying to get out quicker, but he sounds more...I don't know - sure of himself? He says that he feels happier. He mentioned that there were a few fights...

I have worn patches for pain before and I have known a mom who had a child on the clonidine patches and we both put them on the backs. Now my patches were worn for three days so I also used a cover to go over the patch to keep it on because it had a tendency to fall off. If his do to, you...

Carson started taking Celexa on Monday of last week. Friday was his first "good" day at school. He got most of his work done in class. He didn't show defiant behaviour. He didn't hide under his desk. He didn't show anger or have "attitude". He had a good weekend. Told his 10 year old sister he...

After the nosebleed and heart palpitations on lithium, difficult child, understandably wanted to go awhile with-no medications at all. I told him that was understandable. But he's been doing so well because of the medication, not in spite of it. He doesn't understand that side effects can still occur with-something that...

I'd like to know any experiences you all may have had or can offer on the following: Invega- how long did it take to see any results? What were you using it for? Were are currently using it for mood stabilization and are not quite a month into it and I figure it's going to take time to get to a...

Clonidine makes my little difficult child very irritable the next day. So much so that we avoid using it unless its a last ditch effort. Is there another drug that has the sedative properties that anyone else has tried? We don't use it often, but the after-effects when we have to are about as bad as...

I have this beautiful child whom both my husband and I adore, he has been in and out of Dr's offices here in Alaska. Needless to say we just don't have the help that the lower 48 has to offer. He was diagnosed with ADHD several years ago, started on Ritalin...total nightmare after 2 weeks. He...

Yesterday was our first day after having clonidine and no allergy medication's. He did fantastic except for about an hour after dinner. He tried to start misbehavior, but after I calmly talked to him he settled down. Last night he woke up again in the middle of the night afraid. I can understand...

That boy is upset and scared! I am a little too. So I have given the medication history how many times now? Now the admitting doctor just called and asked for everything. He said he thinks the concerta is causing the aggression and he wants to start Depakote. I respectfully said no, not right...

We have created some bad habits with TRex, I know that. We had so much trouble getting her eating and sleeping when we brought her home that sometimes we took the easy way. One we have always struggled with is her sleep. She has always fought going to sleep and/or taking a nap. She wakes...

Okay, here we go, 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet every night for 3 wks, then we see the psychiatrist again. We had a GREAT appointment! I dropped off a hand-written a note a few wks ago, describing how difficult child is always tense, agitated and soooo negative, and in general, unhappy, deliberately isolating himself and...

I've always though my son was adhd or add but never took him to the doctor for it he turned 3 in May and we just relocated to a different state and this new dr seen him once I didn't even mention his behavior he seen and asked quetions then prescribed him ritlin .25mg and clonidine .1mg. Since...

Wondering if anyone here as tried any specific diets and if they have helped you?? i.e the gluten-free, casein-free diet or eliminating red 40.

Somehow, the medications weren't refilled in time and the psychiatric is out of the ofc for a wk. I left a msg with-our pediatrician, explaining the situation and hoping they take pity on us. Our psychiatric had recommended mail order medications and it confused everything. It was not,not, not worth the savings. They even...

just don't mix. No matter what we try to do to make them better they are not good and we've tried a lot over the years. When possible we do try to drive at night so he will sleep most of it. No such luck today as we had to be home earlier due to work tomorrow. It actually started before the...
