I've posted before about difficult child 2's tendency to sleep a lot. He went to bed at 9pm last night and he's still sleeping (it's 12:30pm now). I woke him at 9am today to give him his morning Depakote, and I have to do it again in a minute for his afternoon Seroquel dose. Part of his excessive...

but I'm not sure if it's really necessary yet? Or will I be circumventing an eventual unravelling that could take a long time to fix if I wait too long on this? If you've been following our drama of late, we pulled Risperdal on Monday due to dystonic reaction. Prior to that, difficult child 2 was on...

And I don't want to be normal! I like how I am! Stop trying to make me like everybody else. That's what difficult child 2 told me today when we were discussing his obsessive behavior in the store today (very persistently insisted I buy him an electric toothbrush, which he already has, interrupting me...

for difficult child 2. So now, instead of 600mg Seroquel XR at night, and 100mg regular Seroquel at lunchtime, he's going to get 400mg XR at night and 300mg XR at lunch. Now you see why I only give the school one week's worth of medications at a time? I figured this would happen. So now I have to get another...

Okay, today was the first day we were able to go visit difficult child at the inpatient facility she was placed at earlier this week. I do not think the visit went well at all. She was nice and all, not mean or angry or in a bad mood, but my confidence level in the facility itself kinda plummetted and...

I highly recommend attending this FREE public event on mental health if you live anywhere near one of the lecture locations: http://narsad.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.eventGroup&eventGroupID=6263140E-0171-8415-FE9BCA2DC16E59F9 The talk I attended had three WONDERFUL...

Hi! New physdoc prescribed prozac to difficult child today. She has major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, social anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), some minor tics, sleep issues, manic issues, adhd........... anyhow, we sat down and were trying to figure out (yup another dr. who looks to me for answers, why i just...

So we are trying to wean him off of Abilify and transfer him to Trileptal and Trileptal doesn't seem to be working quite as well. His dystonia is down by a lot, but his mania is higher and I don't think it's too long before he assaults someone or melts down in school. Tried for the first time...

for difficult child 2's Sydenham's tremor. He's not doing too bad his first day off Risperdal after the lovely dystonic dance yesterday. A little reactive. A little trouble cocentrating even with his Daytrana patch today. We'll get the new rx filled tomorrow. I may wait 'til the weekend to try this...

difficult child is down to 1/2 tab of clonazapam 3 times per day (.25 mg each time). He has started to feel the fears he felt last Summer. He says he just feels afraid for no reason and his head is starting to feel funny again. :( We have a medication doctor appointment tommorrow afternoon. I am so glad we started...

Hi there, Went to the docs. She suggested I stop using Ativan and placed me on CLONAZEPAM (to help with my sleep deprevation). Has anyone had any experince with this drug? Thank you.

My son was prescribed Flouxetine (30 mg per day) and Clonazepam (.75 mg 3X per day) when he was admitted to psychiatric hospital. He had never been medicated before and these two medications have worked very well for him. I get the feeling that his peds doctor isn't thrilled about the clonazepam, however, when you...

That was sarcasm for those that didn't pick up on it lol. Talked for about an hour with Dyl's therapist today. It's pretty obvious the Concerta isn't doing anything but making his anxiety worse LOL! LOL! Lucky me, eh? Did I say this was the last drug we were gonna try? Hmmm Don't remember...

I have not posted my 5 year old difficult child's entire history, but he's got a lot of issues with the primary dxs being Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, ADHD, sleep disorders, and asthma. He's had 2 sleep studies. Both studies show severe sleep fragmentation. In his last study, he was asleep for 5 hours and had 94 arousals not...
