paxil

Just talked to the Dean of Students at difficult child 1's school. They're getting worried. He's always been a big talker when it comes to frustration. "I'm going to kill (insert professional here). Yesterday, during a meltdown, he blew up saying he was going to kill the bus driver if he didn't get to...

Over the past 3 years, difficult child 2 has tried Lexapro (caused headaches, feeling that something wasn't right), Prozac (couldn't sleep), Zoloft (suppressed her appetite, causing her to lose weight), Luvox (muscle twitches, impulsivity), and Paxil (2 days, raging). Some of her "side effects" like the...

Complicated difficult child! Has Tourettes (Tourette's Syndrome) with mild, barely noticeable tics. But has all the co-morbids seen with Tourette's Syndrome (ODD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).) Perfect at school, great group of friends, saves all the ODD for home! Several therapists and P-docs stumped by how to treat her and have had many possible diagnosis's...

Who here has had success with-putting their kid on an anti-anxiety medication? As you may or may not have read in another post of mine, I started my son (difficult child 2) on Zoloft, and he got worse than he ever was with-his meltdowns, rage, etc... the medication is definitely out of his system, but the meltdowns and...

difficult child is down to 1/2 tab of clonazapam 3 times per day (.25 mg each time). He has started to feel the fears he felt last Summer. He says he just feels afraid for no reason and his head is starting to feel funny again. :( We have a medication doctor appointment tommorrow afternoon. I am so glad we started...

I'm curious about how many of us, here on the boards, have started on anti-depressents after dealing with our difficult children? I was told that I have PTSD/depression. This was recently. I started taking Lexapro about a month ago. I was so depressed that I was just crying all the time. After about a...

I generally don't talk about the medications I try because there are always tons of bad experiences out there and I want to keep an open mind about our trial. So we are trying zoloft to see if it won't take the edge off of the anxiety and ocdness. It's been about 4 weeks now. I have decided today...

difficult child has finally seen the need to go back on her AD (lexapro 10 mg) all by herself with no world war III. Big relief. So, I go to refill the prescription and now the insurance is wanting prior approval from the doctor and may make her try something else. This just really annoys me because she...

We have decided to wean difficult child off 90%of his medications, give him a break then re introduce a new medication after we see what his symptoms are. He started Depakote for BiPolar with Seroquel, he only takes the Seroquel "as needed" it makes him very sleepy. Then they added Effexor for depression and anxiety...

This is a medication question so I'll brief recent medication changes for difficult child..(his next appointment with psychiatrist is Jan 12, or sometime that week- psychiatrist will not want a phone call before then.) Before Oct: Lithobid raised from 900 to 1200mg/day; depakote er remains at 500 mg/day; AP's had been tried prn but didn't...

well this is my 1st time here, i dont know where else to turn, my 15 yr old has such anxiety over school, been to doctors and counselors, no medicine seems to help. today he blew a great opportunity for something he has worked really hard for because he had such a panic attack this morning and...

difficult child seems hellbent on sabatoging any progress he has made lately. Yesterday, I walked in my door at lunchtime - didn't even have time to take off my boots - when the phone rang. God love caller I.D. - at least I had time to take a deep breath before I answered and received the request to...

easy child was taking different SSRI's over the summer to try to get her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) under control. She took Zoloft for a few weeks until she lost weight from it. Then she took fluvoxamine for probably 6 weeks until she was hyper and impulsive. Then she tried Paxil for 5 days and was starting to get hyper...

Hi all, I'm Jim, our son is 17, we just finally figured out, he has odd/cd, can someone please start us out in the right direction, this has been going on since birth, he takes 50mg of zoloft daily for his anxiety disorder, but I do not want him on a psychotropic medication any and all...

DD1 was on Wellbutrin for a year. Depressive symptoms waned, and anxiety became more clearly defined. Added Paxil 10mg. Seemed like a wonder drug since her anxiety was GREATLY quieted, and in some areas almost non-existent. 2-3 months later she had one 3-4 hour depressive episode (intense...

I really don't know what I think about this psychiatrist. She spoke a few more words this time other than, "Ahhhh. Ok.", but....just but. She put difficult child on clonidine (sp?) 0.1mg to help with sleep. Said difficult child could take it with the 100mg trazodone because difficult child says the trazodone isn't working all that...

I really need some support from people who have been there. Background- Brendan is extremely smart. Lacks social skills, patience, manners, respect, etc. He was finally diagnosed with ADHD last year and was put on Ritalin and Celexa for his social anxieties. (scared of crowds) He has not hit...

Our son has given us trouble for years. The hardest part is when he's not in trouble, he's the sweetest, most charming and lovable kid. But he's headed down the wrong road. He's a junior in hs, been suspended 4 times since freshman year...from everything from computer tampering (disabled the...

I saw therapist yesterday per his request. I saw him two weeks ago also and he told me both times difficult child has such severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and ADHD that the biggest challenge is getting him to survive. I asked him specifically yesterday if he was saying difficult child is going to die. He said getting him to survive until 18...
