Carson started taking Celexa on Monday of last week. Friday was his first "good" day at school. He got most of his work done in class. He didn't show defiant behaviour. He didn't hide under his desk. He didn't show anger or have "attitude". He had a good weekend. Told his 10 year old sister he...

I know that some of you here have dealt with this issue. difficult child is on Celexa (20 mg) and the psychiatrist wants him to start Risperdal (.25 mg) and he is refusing to take it. He says that it's the Celexa that is making him behave badly (because we put him on it in the first place because he was behaving...

Let's try this again. This board hates me (not the people but the board itself) and everything I typed went AWOL!! difficult child 1 snapped big time this afternoon. He was fine one second and the next second (literally that fast) he wanted to live anywhere but here. No warning, no stress, no "situation"...

difficult child just turned 11 last week, and had a pretty stable 18 months since his five months stint in residential in 2007-2008. By stable I mean no physical violence towards people and no auditory hallucinations. We've had the usual impulsive behavior, food gorging/hoarding, lots of lying, and unless...

difficult child was just in my daughter's bedroom with my DS and I hear "look, I'm committing suicide!!" (I kept the baby monitor on) So I went to the door and I hear DS saying "I don't want to hear any more of that ****" So the explaination is he was using Woody (doll) and standing him on the edge of daughter's...

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...

difficult child is trying Prozac/fluoxetine. The psychiatrist insisted that it was chemically dissimilar enough from Zoloft that he wouldn't get the awful reactions he got last time. She instructed us to dissolve a 20 mg tablet into about 8 oz. of cranberry juice, and have him sip some every day, to get the...

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

So we are new to the medication rodeo, but difficult child was finally placed on Lexapro. She claimed she was tired last night, but that seemed a little quick to feel symptoms? I've toyed with the whole medications idea for several years, but lately her anxiety and ager are too great for me to bear. I hope it helps her...

I've never joined a forum before but I need to talk to someone that has similiar problems like I am dealing with. I have a darling 8 yr old daughter that is seeing a child psychiatrist for anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but she has horrible rage attacks...we had her on Paxil and it didn't work, she stopped...

Hi. I'm new here and am hoping maybe someone can give me some new direction to go in. I'll give a little background on our family. My husband (husband) and I have been married for 10 years. We have two children-darling daughter (daughter) who is almost 7 and in first grade, and darling son (DS) who is...

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...

Oh, hon. been there done that too many times to count. When my difficult child was that age, I was too afraid to make eye contact with anyone, let alone put them in their place when they made rude comments. Now, it's a different story, but then I just wanted to become invisible. (((hugs)))

I heard this today and thought I'd pass it on. I believe it's true, HOWEVER the doctor on TV said that antidepressants DO work on the severely depressed (that's definitely me). I know they work for me. Mild/medium depression not so much--they recommend therapy and exercise. Thought I'd pass it along.

difficult child has not taken the Effexor for 3 doses, for the past 2 days he has been miserable, today he is almost unbearable. He said he feels dizzy and his head feels weird (brain zaps) he feels very fatigued. What do I do? We are not planning on starting another AD right away but I did read that...

Hello, My daughter (19 yrs old) just started on Lexapro this week. Just wondering if anyone else has used this drug or knows anything about it.

I just found, stashed away in S's room, dozens of her medications which she has been hiding. They were Celexas, Seroquels (which she just got taken off of a couple weeks ago), and Tenex's. She claims they were from a long time ago when she went on a medication strike (years ago), but I know that's not so...

Hi, remember me (the overnight change). We went for the second blood test for strep, and it was negative. I know the doctor is not up on PANDAS, and I still think he might have missed something. We have an appointment for a full physical next friday, and I am going to ask for a neuro workup...

Brief background DD1 was pretty stable on Wellbutrin and paxil. Then she started having depressive episodes once a month, then it was one every two weeks for 6 weeks and then BAM! 2-3 per week. Episodes would last a few hours with crying, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and thoughts of...

Is anyone's difficult child on something for anxiety???? Probably should have asked earlier as I'm leaving for psychiatrist in 30 minutes and he really needs to do something to get Tigger's anxiety under control.
