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...

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...

easy child is at it again.... He has been in his room since 6:00 !!!!! He has NOT done his homework. He has NOT showered....and he is staying up all night. It is so hard to get this child to budge when he sets his mind to it....He's actually just reading....which is a miracle because for most of the...

My difficult child is being discharged on Thursday. I found out this morning. We went from no pressure to discharge him last week to we are going to discharge him Thursday. They said they are waiting until Thursday because they know I am concerned about him coming home and that my daughter is scared to...

Hi, I mostly post on the General Board. My difficult child 1 is 18 and a freshman in a local community college. She has major depression which ramps up unpleasantly when she is premenstrual and for the first few days of her period. Over the past four years, since her dad and I separated and have since...

So where I left off: I got the Zyprexa as a rescue medication to help get through this intense increase in aggression and panic Q seems to be going through. Day 1: By the end of the day he was asking his incessant, but normal, questions about the world, things he has done, just trying to connect...

I have never been to a forum before, but as my username suggests, I am at a complete loss as what to do! My son has always been Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), been athletic, and did great in school. After he hit teen years and has gone through some bad experiences, he has gotten totally apathetic. Recently, he...

We go back to see the psychiatrist next week on difficult child 2. I am tearing out my hair, and am at the point where all I can think to do is find a way to try to help myself detach and try to destress in a major way--seems like I can't help my son at all. And he is only 9. His major symptoms are irritabililty...

Is it really possible for a 12 (almost 13) year old to have a full blown panic attack? My son for the last 2 nights right around 9pm starts complaining of right sided chest pain, inability to catch breath and just starts pacing almost. If I get up he jumps up and asks where am I going and why...

just want to make a long story short as I need advice or at least have an idea of what to expect. My son freaks out when he doesn't get his way to the point where he is calling me names and screaming at me. About two weeks he was Baker Acted for attacking me. Yesterday he got mad at me...

My daughter has been prescribed clonidine to help with impulsivity, hyperness and general aggression. She has attention issues too, and i know this drug is not as affective for attention. She has epilepsy though so this was considered the best drug to try even though it is not a first line drug...

Today I was going to run an errand and pick up difficult child at carpool and then spend the afternoon sleeping off my cold. (I'm sicker than a dog.) I called the school to tell them, and just at the moment I called, difficult child was called into the office. The teacher said he was extremely hyper and there was...

I seem to return to this site only when things get really difficult. I apologize if this seems selfish to anyone. Sometimes life gets in the way of my good intentions and I'm sure you can all understand how busy a difficult child can keep us. My son was on the highest dosage of Concerta they'd allow for...

difficult child was on Strattera all summer and was always having rages - like a volcano ready to explode over a" look" or even just a request to do something. So it was stopped a little over two weeks ago and the generic Prozac was started (10 mg - she weighs 98#). The explosions have slowed down to...

We've been to a Christmas party at difficult child 1's in-laws. We of course took difficult child 3, he's been maybe slightly edgy but it's easy to put this down to the season, shopping and changes in routine. However, several times in the last couple of days he's been particularly resistant to changes in routine...

Hello ~ this is my first post. I have twin daughters who just turned five last week. One of my girls has been diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder. Much of the time she is a pleasant, loving and well behaved wee one. However, she does not follow directions well and does not do...

difficult child went to the psychiatrist yesterday and was prescribed Celexa because the psychiatrist said she is obviously depressed. I know she seems depressed, but I dont think that is the root of the problem. I honestly think that she is bipolar. I talked to the psychiatrist a little about it, but she thought starting with...

Hi I am new to this site and it looks like this is the place for me. I am a mother of 4 children 3 of which are no problem and 1 that is beyond hard to handle. I have a 14 year old daughter that for the last 2 years seems to be spiraling out of control. She was a happy child but 2 years ago...

Hey all - I've posted before about issues with-my son and school, but I have a different question tonight. I am beginning to suspect my 7 year old is bipolar. I will spare you all the long, long story of his various diagnosis and medications, but suffice it to say that RIGHT NOW he is diagnosis ADHD, although...
