Well we all slept last night... K woke up at 8:30- she fell asleep around 9:30pm so she got a lot of sleep... she had night terrors so it wasn't great sleep but she was alseep none the less. She is awake and angry now... still hypomanic, racing, on edge. Very ODD. Which I thought was gone from...

Well actually I am old member but been a long time since I have been here. I believe it was since my ds was 9 and daughter was 6. Now my ds is 13 and daughter is 10. How many Wisconsin members here??? Well over the past few years we had total of 11 inpatients for my ds but his last one was May 2006. He...

Hi everyone. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have found this site! I was google searching ODD because I am in desperate need of some guidance. I am engaged to a wonderful man, and have a beautiful three year old little boy. My fiance has an 8 year old boy who has ODD. I am at my...

It's been a while, we have been on vacation. During the vacation some issues came up that are new and I am not quite sure how to handle it. Anxiety level really shoots through the roof. He admitted he doesn't like feeling scared all the time. Tried talking to him, but doesn't help his fears...

Talked to M's new psychiatric hospital psychiatrist tonight by phone for about 1/2 hr to fill him in a little more and answer any questions he had and then listen to his medication suggestions for M. He wants to start M on an SSRI to treat anxiety. He does not think M is ADHD and I agreed with him. Of course, he doesn't...

We took daughter to her first Child psychiatric appointment. yesterday. We were in the office for not more than 25 minutes total. First the Child Psychiatrist spoke to husband (husband said about 2 sentences about getting a tutor to free up time for myself and have less aggravation) and myself for about 15 minutes. Then she...

Hi there. An introduction and seeing if this would be a good place for sharing our story. I have a daughter who's been diagnosed with atypical mood disorder, anxiety disorder, ADD (which I don't believe) and we're still thinking possibly bi-polar or depression. She's been tested for many things but...

Yet another day trashing everything in difficult child's room. It's like a quarterly thing around here for years. She's taken more money from my purse and stolen all the change husband has from his (deceased) bro. Plus some other stuff. It's been a very tough day and I hate having to do this to difficult child. I'm sure...

difficult child 1 used to be on Lexapro (for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)) and Elavil (for IBS) up until last Spring. I dropped the Elavil (low dose of 10mg) because I figured he wouldn't need it during the less stressful days of Summer. At our July check-in, psychiatrist said he thought some of the previous ODD behaviors we'd had in...

Well, my difficult child had his psychiatry appointment. yesterday. He and I both feel that maybe since NONE of the medications he's tried for ADHD have been well tolerated (Concerta, Adderral, Straterra, the patch, and Straterra again, in that order), that maybe we're treating the wrong thing. So, we're now looking at...

Got the letter today that difficult child 1 has been denied for SSI. "The medical records do not show marked and severe functional limitations." This is a kid that won't remember to eat unless I make him (only 70 lbs at the age of 14), can't be left home unsupervised (don't get me started), doesn't think to...

HAs anyone here had success with adding an anti-depressant to a mood stabilizer (the issue is cycling- not seizures)? Is it very common? TIA

for getting difficult child back on schedule? He stays up later and later and sleeps later and later and doesn't care, much less make any effort to change it. If you recall, he only went to school about one day a week the last few weeks before holiday break. It appears to me that not only is this...

I am new to this forum but so relieved to find other parents going through the same types of issues...My 7 yr old daughter has always been challenging but the last couple of years have been awful. When she started 1st grade last year she started getting really aggressive with other kids, and one...
