lamictal

So psychiatrist3 started apt by actually talking to K... asking her questions. SHe had a hard time answering, shy, anxiety who knows? "I can't remember" Was her answer. We discussed everything, he is very happy she is doing so well at school, making friends etc!!! So am I, she has never had a friend...

How much rozerum is normal for a child? I can't find a weight chart for it. Are there other types of sleep aides for kids besides rozerum and seroquel? Rozerum seems to work most of the time on my oldest difficult child, but my middle difficult child who usually falls asleep quickly is awake all night now and my...

Just wondering hoping for any suggestions on how to *nicely* push for K to be Difficult Child'd off of the Abilify??? I really want to see the Lamictal by itself, or at least just with the Prazosin... I would like to stop that also... She still has night terrors. She has such incredible TD it is...

While discussing what to add to my son's medications yesterday, our psychiatrist said she had just read a preview of several clinical trials for EO BiPolar (BP) that will be coming out over the next several months/year. The review was sent to child psychiatrists (at least that's what she is) now because the findings were...

difficult child 2 has been on Tegretol XR a week now and I am really wishing we could just fast forward another month because his behavior is not getting any better. Although his math/science teacher said he appears to be less impulsive this week. And he has been able to get his homework done more quickly...

Anyone have any experience? My difficult child who is 9 was just diagnosed with Bipolar a couple days ago. The psychiatrist was very good. He wants me to get into my prim care doctor so that I can get on different medications also because paxil just doesn't seem to be working for me and I also have bipolar symptoms...

Well, I am so sorry it has been a while since I posted, things have been crazy at home, and I have been working CRAZY hours too!!! My 5 year old had her final assessment appointment yesterday!!!! The final diagnosis was Bipolar, but he said that he wants to get her a while on the mood stabilizers...

difficult child's new psychiatrist has decided to take him off of Trileptal ,which is fine because we didn't think it was doing anything anyway. She said it actually works against lamictal in the way that you have to raise the lamictal dose when you add Trileptal , so if you raise the dose of the Trileptal you end...

We are still not right with-the medications for either of my kids. :( My difficult child 1 was on Zoloft (after failing on Prozac) and we just weaned her off because I didn't think it was helping and thought maybe it was making her more angry. Maybe I was wrong because she's been completely off the Zoloft since last week...

So therapist is going to look into this for difficult child son. I have heard of it many times, but really do not know what they are. I am guessing (hoping) it would be helpful. difficult child is better on the increased abilify, we will look into other medications next week after the neuropsychologist testing, but is still...

I have a 10 yr old son with a diagnosis of adhd. From birth he has been different from my other two sons. He is the middle child. We've tried play therapy for over a year when he was 5 years old. He was suspended from pre-k for a couple days for an inability to keep his hands to himself. He...

We finally saw difficult child's new psychiatrist yesterday and we have a good place to start working. First thing he wanted to take him off Ritalin because in kiddos with high anxiety that can cause voices or hallunications. WOW! That made him feel somewhat better about what was going on. Now he is on Concerta...

hi went to doctor today with-difficult child. he basically leaves it up to me what to put her on, it's beyond ridiculous. i have to sit there and make an uneducated guess as to what medication to put her on with-o any info on the medication. he rushes me out the door. it's so hard. so i said we've tried ap's, ssri's...

difficult child 2 and his family moved to another county. His girlfriend is in the town I live - the town difficult child 2 used to live in. difficult child 2 stayed with me last night and went to Homecoming with his girlfriend and was supposed to be home (with me) at 11:30pm. He feels like no one trusts him (and we don't with...

Hi difficult child 2 has been on Abilify (very low dose) for a few years for impulsivity, getting in other kids' space etc. He has major focus issues. executive function etc. Stimulants made him miserable, have tried just about everything else. (Abilify is only AP though). We finally decided to...

difficult child tells me today that he wants to drink or smoke or something because he doesn't feel the way he should. OK, so I tell him this means the medications are not right yet and we need to discuss this with psychiatrist. I asked if he had been doing anything- he said sneaking and smoking cigarettes sometimes. I say...

My husband feels im over medicated. I take 300 mg Lithium in the am and 600 mg in the pm 15 mg Abilify, 40 mg prozac, 1 mg xanax 3 x day, and 15 mg remeron Does this seem like too much for someone with Bipolar? I get tired really early and go to sleep when my kids do, which is not me at...

difficult child II is still very unstable but luckily we've avoided going

My name is Jessica and I have 4 children. My one daughter is 8 yrs,old and she has been diagnosed with ADHD/ Bipolar. I noticed when she was very young that something was not right. She was a very agressive with others, she had a lot of trouble siteing still and was very distructive!! I started...

psychiatrist is willing to talk to me. Oh well, whatever I have to do. I received several emails from her today. The nicest after she found out I filed a complaint. Whatever's necessary....she's pleasant and communicative and I can be the same. She believes the issues are related to "a Bipolar...
