I'm curious if anyone here has experienced increased dreaming and/or nightmares while on a mood stabilizer... especially Trileptal.
Since going on this drug, husband periodically has some really violent dreams. He shouts in his sleep, he kicks (a few times he's gotten me good), and he once fell...
that may be working for your kid.
What do you do when you've tried them all?
Dylan's hyperactivity and impulsivity are skyrocketing. We had him 6 full days over the holiday, and every person that came in contact with him said he seemed "10x worse", "ready to jump out of his skin", "couldn't...
Hello all!
My daughter was diagnosed ADHD in August. Once on Metadate CD, she started having increasing agression. We stopped the medications, but she continued the defiance/agression.
Psychiatrist started her on Adderall XR. She has been on for about 6 weeks now. The medications work OK to help...
Well, the doctor is a neuropsychiatrist. No testing was done, mostly a consultation. The tests that would show if kiddo is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), etc., still have to be done by someone else. Wants to know why SpEd isn't testing for it when SpEd is doing the IEP on emotional disorder. SpEd suggested I get full...

To tired to explain all, used up all my energy to fight back difficult child!
And all of this because he had the thought stuck in his head that he wants to rent a horror dvd and we said no!!!!
First the verbal abuse then holding and...
My son(4) was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. We discussed different methods to approach his treatment. one was to treat him for the anxiety first, in hopes that it would help us to recognize what causes it, and how we can help him to deal with it. Then in turn, we can help with other things...
:applause:Yeah for difficult child! School teacher called to say that for the last two days he has done wonderful in psychiatric hospital school! She said that he needs 1:1 at all times (yup) and that it took till yesterday (well he had a lot on his plate so...) for him to be able to stay in the room with other kids...
Good morning! I was wondering if I could pick your brains, please. My difficult child, who is 11, was diagnosed over the summer with general anxiety disorder and ODD. I had him seem by a psychiatrist about two years ago and he said that he thought difficult child had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). At the time I thought he was too young for medications...
My daughter (age 6) was prescribed Daytrana (a nightmare), then tenex (no effect) then Risperidone (current medication) for her undiagnosed behavior issues. Temper tantrums, rages, non-compliance, general nastiness, hyperactive whatever you want to call it.
The Risperidone seemed to work after...

I'm Michelle... I have a 16 year old who has ADHD, ODD and Asperger's Syndrome (some forms of all but not all inclusive).
Some days it's easy and others are a real challenge. The biggest obstacle seems to be his inability to effectively socialize properly. We've been through...

Kanga called us during phone hours and talked to husband. I was at work but she told him to have me call when I got home. So I did. Why I bother I have no idea.
Kanga: Mom, I'm ready to come home.
Me: You know things will be different when you...
Yeah, I think it is maybe time to go to the doctor to talk about my mood. On Sat Q was awful during the transition to my dad's house and I held it together fine. I came up on a stop sign that I noticed too late and hit the breaks hard and stopped fine, but it was rainy so I slid a tiny bit and...
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...

It's been a couple weeks that I started weaning difficult child off the Celexa. I am definitely seeing a return of anxiety. Just tonight he could't fall asleep because he started thinking "what would happen if we were killed in our sleep". I hadn't seen this in a while, the celexa really did help with...
