lexapro

hi, so i've thought alot past few days on how to handle stuff with this whole "thorazine" drug that was prescribed difficult child. I did my best, worked it through, read the clinical trials, went to the fda site to view the incedences of the drug. At end of day I am not giving it to her. I contacted her...

My 6 yr old son has been diagnosed ADHD. Atm he is being treated with 20 mg of Ritalin LA and 10 mg Chlonidine at night to peal him of ceiling into bed. Since upping the dosage to 20 mg there seems to be more agressive traits coming out. For example, in Summer School, when asked to come...

I spoke to the psychiatrist last night and he finally agreed with me that taking difficult child off of Celexa was the way to go. We had hoped that it would help with his anxiety to the point that the tantrums would stop, but not only have they not stopped, but they have gotten worse. I think difficult child mistook me for a...

Here we go again ... difficult child does not tolerate stimulants well and has severe tics on them and his neuropsychologist suggested Wellbutrin which made him break out in a rash. Now he suggests Lexapro ... I just feel so bad for difficult child and all these medications worry me. In my heart I know he needs "something" to...

Saw the new psychiatrist on Friday. I wasn't really all that impressed with him and it didn't help that difficult child was on his best behavior and told stories of rainbows and roses. Something to the effect of "I get good grades, get along with my family and I'm not depressed in the slightest...." Little snot...

Well, difficult child has finally done it. easy child decided last night that she is moving out, and into a friend's home. And, I am so ****** off right now. difficult child got what she wanted. Last night difficult child was ridiculous last night. We told her that she could not have phone/computer past 10pm. So at 8 she asked...

I am angry with my son's insurance company, with his psychiatrist, his therapist and his caseworker. They don't seem to realize that I do have a brain and may know what is best for my child. Okay....neither he or his brother are my biologically born children. They were born to my son and his...

Did I remember this wrong or is there truth to the theory that AD's can cause a manic type reaction, even if the kid (or adult) is not truly bipolar? I'm aware that AD's can trigger mania in a person with bipolar, but I thought I also remembered reading in a couple of different places that this...

hi can someone please help give me their experience with ssri's which is a medication we do not use for difficult child due to her reaction to it. pysch doctor wouldnt' see her today or medicate her. long story on other thread. put call into peds to get her medication in the meantime while i'm working on calling another...

Good Morning All-- Forgive me for venting here... Seemed like difficult child had been making good progress...the therapist felt that she improved so much on the Celexa that there was really no more need for weekly sessions (and just as well since Medicaid is dropping coverage of weekly counseling...

husband stunned me today. I guess it's the miracle of modern mood stabilizing medicine at work, because a year ago, not to mention 10 years ago he was a very different man. difficult child 1 has been staying up really late (starting to wonder if it's because we changed to Celexa...). He was up until probably...

my difficult child will turn 10 friday. she was diagnosed by a child neuroligist as having add & odd. she has been on daytrana 20 mg since she was 7. things had been working well. but lately she has been very oppositional since april. i have started to question the diagnosis. my thoughts have been...

difficult child 1 used to take Lexapro for his Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). It helped with his needle phobia TREMENDOUSLY. But... We had lots of problems with him when stimulants wore off in terms of his over-the-top oppositionality, defiance, mouth, tantrums, yada, yada, yada. Door slamming, slashing a screen, running off...

The current medications and vitamins are working GREAT!!! difficult child states he if feeling better for the most part. The "weird" feeling is going away. I am seeing a happier more confident kid. He is not as clingy and in fact has joined the other 12 yr old boys in searching out ways to be...

Thursday night difficult child told me that he was nervous about this weekend. He and husband were going to sister in law's to pick up a love seat. They would go down to the cities Friday afternoon, attend a Viking's Game and come back on Saturday (today). Diva and I went to my sister's also in the cities (about 1/2...

Hi All- difficult child 2 has been on zoloft since July--At one point he was on 50 mg but he was bouncing off the walls-totally hyper--falling out of his seat etc.....I spoke with the doctor and he said to reduce it to 25 mg....he had a terrible reaction to this decrease and had a major rage.... The...

The psychiatrist suggested I reduce difficult child 1's Lexapro in an effort to curb his over-the-top ODD-type behaviors when the stimulant wears off. For example, arguments would escalate to the point where he would either run away, break something, slam doors, throw things, or he would lie, seek out porn, steal things...

We moved easy child into her new apt with her boyfriend yesterday. It's a nice place (we all cleaned it last week). I like the boyfriend, I spoke with him in private and I know he loves easy child and everything, I am just worried that they're not rishing into something bigger than they can handle. But you know they both...

But, there still seems to be some controversy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29797423/

Does anyone have any experience with Invega? It was described to me as similiar to Risperdal, but no weight gain. It's terribly expensive, insurance or not. difficult child has had his first dose this AM, but I've not noticed much difference in his behavior. Perhaps it has to build up in his system. We...
