clonidine

for both kids. He thinks Anxiety still for daughter and showing some signs of Aspergers (but he cant say on the diagnose because she did get worse at her new school so he knows something is wrong but not sure. He mainly asked her about depression and friends, how her school work is, etc. Asked...

We had a great meeting yesterday. Manster's teacher kept telling the rest of the group that he was one of his best students and even through he'd had a couple of bad weeks those weeks were better than 30 percent of the class' best. It was nice to hear. The 6th grade team with the exception of...

Summer is killing me already. My sig says it all (I just updated it). I pretty much had a sobbing breakdown today. I have the kids from 7 am (6 am on Thursdays and Fridays), M-F, and Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening. So yeah, with my husband and myself most of the time. The...

Hey, I was expecting him to run home the first day, so this is amazing. Of course, I didn't tell him that. Last night we had to "share" the car (this is becoming more of an issue lately). I dropped him off, and he said to pick him up at 10. Sometimes there's a game or some issue so he stays...

Bug has been driving me crazy for a while now. Her grades are always poor. She wants me to tell her I love her all the time. She constantly needs reassurance that tiny achievements are acknowledged. I swear the neediness is driving me nuts. But even worse is the fact that her achievements are...

I sat here typing out our story to share with y'all and I realized something.... It seems as if every time we changed/increased medication my son's behavior worsened. I understand the whole medication thing is trial and error, but we've had two psychiatric hospitalizations in less than a year for...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
